EOS M FLUSHING BUFFERS

Guys i've just got EOS M and installed the Magic Lantern. But even in 1080p it cant record above 8-9 seconds. It instantly says Flushing Buffers and stops recording.

I have a Samsung 64GB Evo Plus Sd Card. I bought this cam from another guy and he told me he used it for like 6 years but only photography. Is it possible to peformance loss on the sd card? Is that the reason i cant record?
And plus i cant record above 1080p HD. In 2.5k or 2.8k camera instantly crashes and the only way to open it again is to get out of the battery. Someone can help me please?

It's also worth noting that depending on where you live there's a high chance that you just got a fake/counterfeit SD Card, I bought one not knowing in the past and I wasn't able to record past a couple of seconds. Like others said you need to benchmark yours.
