Close post, Found the issue. Hardware related.

Here's a log. Server has self shut down twice since I started logging. syslog-192.168.10.253.log

I enabled local syslog server. Will let post log next time it shuts itself down.

Hi. Recently my server started randomly shutting itself down after anywhere from 20 minutes to 15 hours. I can't find a cause. Any help will be appreciated. Let me know which logs to attach for review. Thanks

I made a new USB and copied my old config folder. Still had same issue. I disconnected ALL USB devices I had plugged into the tower and it booted up no problem. Now just working on getting everything reconnected. I did take a new ident.cfg file from the fresh install config folder though. Thanks for the help.

When I was making a copy of the folder it gave me an error saying this file is corrupt and can't be copied. Everything else copies just fine. So I can just delete that file and try booting again basically?

my ident.cfg file is corrupt. Apparently we had a power outage that must have caused this. What can I do so I don't lose my entire system and library of everything?

So just copy to a new flash drive and try booting again basically?

Woke up this morning to this screen. I've tried restarted. Going into safe boot. It always gets stuck here. I did notice one time something about a possible file corruption due to fs not being shut down properly. Hope someone can assist.

Finally resolved. Converting the .img into a passthrough disk worked.

*UPDATE* Converting the .img to a physical disk. If that doesnt work I'm just making the vm fresh from scratch. All my files are in cloud backup anyways so I'm not losing anything but time

I even uninstalled a few things to bring the size down to less than 400GB used in windows, It's still showing as over 900GB.

I'm making a new VM. But I don't get an option to do a disk passthrough.

So I did that. But even after running a defrag 3 times. The .IMG file is still much too large to boot into the VM without freezing mid boot.

Update. Using MC via terminal to copy to a different drive.
