APU2 Crashing
-
-
What a POS this APU2 board is. Updated BIOS now to 4.0.25 and PFSense to 2.4.4p1 (see attached) and now the board won't even run 5 minutes without crashing.
Also now when it does crash it beeps extremely loud for 10 seconds, then briefly comes back up.

Clearly you have a hardware issue.
Check your power supply also. -
@Gil Yup, already started a support case to have it replaced.
Once I get the replacement board, is bios still required to run pfsense 2.4.4?
-
I'd suggest that would be best practice
-
@Gil Is 4.0.25 the recommended version?
-
According to PC Engines, the legacy releases are best for FreeBSD & v4.0.25 is the latest.
That's about as much as I can tell you -

Hi, I have the 4.0.25 Bios-Version on my APU2C0 since (now) 20 days uptime without any issue.

Just an update:
Got a replacement board sent, put in another new mSATA drive, updated firmware to 4.0.25 and install pfsense 2.4.4p1 and so far knock on wood I have 10 hours of up-time.
Is it normal for the board itself to beep every time I log into the webGUI?

According to the doc Docs » pfSense » Hardware » Disabling Sounds/Beeps , yes ... ;)
It's actually a user setting, enabled by default.But the beep is fine, it confirms you login was successfully.
When it starts to beep with you doing something else, well .... that's when things become interesting. -
