Okay, so as I was trying to create the condition I know I observed previously my system is making a liar out of me. I have confirmed it is boosting all the way to 4.5Ghz on 8 threads and the temps are staying below the highest I have seen of 46. My fans are ramping up allot though so one question i would ask is what is your fan profile like. Do you hear your fans ramp up, or have you made keeping it all as quite as possible a priority. The reason i saw this before could be simply related to the fan profile i had i guess. I think in the past i did try to put a focus on noise reduction. Something else that has come to mind is have you disabled Global C-States in your bios. That is something I needed to do for stability as well when using my GPU and has anything changed recently that could have enabled it. I still think it could be worth trying a different power supply. It isn't a hard stretch that under heavy load even 850 could be stretched thin with that quantity of hardware. Even though it is rated at 850 over time power supplies do loose a bit of their headroom. it is possible you have enough spikes in load that cause it to kick in overload protection and drop. I had a similar issue some 12 years ago with a WHS Home server i built with what i thought was a top teir power supply at the time. It ran great until it didn't. Also out of curiosity what is the cooling solution you have for your CPU Air cooled/Water cooled?

OKay, So the power supply is looks to be near the middle to the top middle of the tier list. So that is pretty good. The typical power consumption of the graphics cards under load appears to be around 335 + the TPU. Not sure of the best way to look at up. I don't remember hearing to much about transient load prior to the rtx 20 series so that may not be related. It would be nice to see the dashboard section for the CPU close to this event. A few snapshots that show system at idle vs the load of the system at around the time this happens. I have noticed on my system the time the system hits the hightest temps is when I have a few cores boosting to max clock. That will drive the CPU up as high as it can't go. When the entire system is under load it settles much lower. Here is what I mean. This is the system at relative idle os just doing simple tasks. Hovering around 33-34 degrees Under significant load it settles around 46 degrees. This is load created from setiathome using all of the cores

Video cards can be particularly harsh on power supplies. Where any of them doing any activity during the shutdown. Transients loads made by modern video cards can really bring a Power supply to it's knees. What video cards do you have. What teir power supply do you have. What is the powersupply brand/model and supported wattage of the device. It would also be nice to know what the CPU load at the time of the shutdown was.

How did you determine you are overheating. I don't see anything in the information provided that indicates that. By chance did you set anything in your bios that may do automatic overclocking. It is kind of unlikely to be the problem unless something is very wrong with the system. Modern CPU's have things built into them that should make this very difficult unless you have a extremally insufficient cooling solution and even then unlikely. Modern cpu's should speed up and slow down the clock based on usage and thermal headroom. Simply put you should be able to even leave your cooler off and the system would run just extremely throttled. Though i will admit i would never want to test this. Have you checked your power supply. What is it rated to run at, and how old is it, and what is the normal system power consumption. Do you have a GPU in the system?

I know this is a old thread, but wanted to put another solution in here I found for my WD drive that were not enabling cache. Here is the source for this method. Unable to activate write caching on several drives - WD Internal Drives / Desktop & Mobile Drives - WD Community The basic idea of it is to use this command first to enable the ATA command on the controller. Update /dev/sdg to your correct drive though. Then once that is submited and comes back showing Then you can submit the hdparm command to enable write cache as stated earlier in this thread.

I had thought of this. I checked to make sure that Nesting is enabled, and it is. I checked cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested to make sure i got a value of 1 which means Nested virtualization is enabled.

So i had a working VMware environment with VMWare ESXI up until a few months ago. For various reasons it was abandoned for a time. Now i can't seem to get VMWare ESXi to start any VM's at all. It will install and start up fine, but isn't really usable. I keep getting a error message when i try to start any VM's that indicates VMware is having a issue with the system it is running on running another VM Software. I have tried rebuilding the several times and following whatever tutorials i can find online to install VMWare 7.x. I have tried 7.01 and 7.03g. I have tried using SEABIOS which seems to now cause a error during startup and OVMF with and without TPM. The error is "vcpu-0:Invalid VMCB.' Has anyone else had issues with VMWare working the latest version of Unraid.

Here are the diagnostics logs. Unfortunately i am a little bit concerned they won't shed much light though as Iwas in the middle of shifting some things around in the config and have done several reboots. Fortunately the drive isn't necessary and at this point all the data was removed from it and it is going through a preclear now as another test. I just don't want to continue to waste my time with it if it just needs to be replaced. I know most of the drives in my rig at this point are past their warranty period so drive age isn't on my side. kingsplace-diagnostics-20220723-1043.zip

This is kind of throwing me off. I have a 6TB WD Red drive that has been in use for some time. It has recently become a little bit problematic. After the last time something similar happened managed to adjust my configuration a bit and get it pulled from the array. I ran several diagnostic tests, and it came back fine. I finally added it back in a few weeks ago. This week it once again disabled itself and had some strange messages in the drive log. It looked like it was saying something about the drive capacity changing. I once again pulled it out and did a few tests to check the drive. It came back ok again. I went back to add it back to the array and Unraid is saying it is to small to be used. I have a 10 slots in my server so i tried a different one just to ensure it wasn't a cable, or slot issue. Has anyone else seen this.

So i have had my Unraid setup for a while. I like how it works and until recently was using it on some rather conservative hardware. Not long ago I was advised my job is changing and found a need to get much more familiar with the VMware Suite of products. I have also decided to start using my server for to host my home desktop. So after 10 years of rather that conservative hardware i have upgraded to a Ryzen 5950x, 128 Gb of ram and a Asus ROG Strix MB. Basically i built the highest setup i could without going server or workstation hardware. So far it has been working well. I just needed ot disable Global C-States for the video card for the desktop vm to work well. Now I have started to nest VMWare ESXi under Unraid to enable me to create my home lab with the VMWare suite of products. I have done well with getting the Hypervisor working and setting up some VM's. I have also managed to get VSphere loaded under it with some of the other products. But as soon as i went to enable VSphere DRS or HA functionality I am getting messages saying VMWare EVC is not supported. This appears to be related to certain CPU functions not working through KVM QEMU that is used with Unraid. I have tried adjusting some of the CPU feature settings for the ESXi Hosts, but have not been successful as of yet. I have confirmed that these functions are available by the hardware by doing a quick install of ESXi on the host at the bare metal level to test. I could rework my setup to load Unraid under ESXi, but i tried that early on and there are reasons I didn't go that route. Any suggestions about how to get this functionality from Unraid VM features.

I ended up just setting up a VM and installing everything manually. It was easy enough. I needed atleast Node.js 12 i think, and maybe Node.JS 14. Thanks for advice.

I have recently run into a snag that i believe has been determined to be related to the version of Node.JS used by Node red in the docker. Is there any way to upgrade that to a newer version?
