I have an Intel NUC7i5BNB which I use soley as a TV box via HDMI to Oled TV I have upped the ram to 16gb and it still using M2 Intel ssd.
I'm having problems with it randomly flickering on and off I'm running Windows 11 Pro and it also did it with Win 10.
Is this a problem with the video card. Or get better M2 SSD?
I also have Intel NucNUC6CAYH which runs perfectly, The reason for getting the NUC7i5BNB would be the advantage of the extra drive for an extra hard drive to store video's etc.

If you are referring to the image randomly cutting out, like it is losing the connection between the NUC and TV, I would try swapping the HDMI cable for a known good one to test that first.

Cheaper/non-certified HDMI cables are notorious for causing that with age/wear. I had that happen with some Dynamix ones after a couple of months, so I replaced them with certified ones and hasn't happened since.

Otherwise, usual stuff like check your Intel graphics drivers are up to date, since NUCs use integrated graphics. I can't imagine the SSD has bearing on this, unless it is completely full and choking the system.
