Some process put heavy load onto it. Without at least passive cooling it surely dies.

 

Does this happen too if you start over with a clean image fromhttps://www.armbian.com/download/  ?

Wonder what it is, I was using nmcli and some codes. I will check my codes. Anyway i tried a heat sink doesn't exactly helps alot,

 

NowI put a heat sink and a small fan on it. It cools it down.
