Try booting in safe mode if needed. Side test, load up trial on another USB stick and try it out. If things fire up, your stick may just got corrupted and possibly fixed by reinstalling from backup.

If you have an open x1 slot and don't mind an additional 4-8W power, these little guys work well.

Had something similar from an Emby perspective. My solution was on the Emby client 'Playback' settings to lower the 'Home network quality' and 'Internet quality' speeds. Those settings look like this: 4K - 120 Mbps 4K - 40 Mbps 1080p - 60 Mbps 1080p - 25 Mbps .. with several in between. If you can find something similar, try walking the setting down to something that works.

Most likely a cable. Remove any power splitter if possible and/or switch connector. If that doesn't do it, try swapping the sata cable.

A successful memtest is not a guarantee that your memory is good. Suggest you choose the luckiest stick and fire it up with just that. If it still hangs, try again with the next luckiest stick. Disable fast boot too.

Are you able to load up Windows on that hardware and start up? If it can at least load up, you may find a clue as to which HW to look closer at rather than replacing it all.

Is Turbo Write turned on? I also noticed your isos share on disk1. Suggest moving that to your cache.

Create your VM template and point the 'Primary vDisk Location' to the existing image you used before.

Oof. Only other thing I can think is to re create your USB using Rufus to format and then manually install instead of using the unRAID creator thing.

Some things to try: Disable quick boot Disable secure boot Disable TPM 2.0 Disable CSM Disable anything else not essential to boot.

12900 is a rock solid CPU but runs warm.

Is your main nic still eth0? I've had some get reassigned to eth1, 2, etc for reasons I didn't know. Agree to want to turn off bonding. Bridging you may want to consider keeping active.

Maybe create unRAID users with same Windows credentials being used to login by your partner. Assign those users desired unRAID share permissions.

Try running Tools > New Permissions on the offending share.

I am thinking SimonF is onto something with your passed thru USB controller(s). If the ports are passed thru, they are not available from the main host. How many iommu groups for USB controllers are available? Are you able to just pass thru one and get your 3 port fix for HA? If all your ports are in the same iommu group, I don't know off the cuff how to split them, but I DO believe I read it's possible. I think you have some juggling to get it just right. Maybe a usb2.0 header like this could add options.

if you have a spare usb lying around try loading up a fresh trial and see if things look better. Maybe something in the OS got its wires crossed.

Have you tried changing USB mode to EHCI or XHCI? I read some trouble with the default hands off option. Thinking along Mathomas3 power thoughts, how does it run if you disconnect the 8pin power augment? Probably far fetched that one.

Ensure you got the latest BIOS. Reset to defaults.

A reboot of the switch may be in order. Also, happen to have a spare network cable you can swap from server to switch? Change port too if possible. And as you mentioned earlier, resetting and defaulting the modem is a good idea too.

Sounds like something happening at a certain time at night which could be a scheduled event from a docker container, vm, plugin or script. Suggest you run overnight with plugins and Docker and VM turned off. If that proves stable, turn things on Docker and check stability again. If not stable, then start turning off containers one at a time and test stability again. This could take several days to isolate. Incidentally, I see in logs some errors to usb 1-9 "usb 1-9: device descriptor read/64, error -71" May or may not be related.

You can upgrade to unRAID 7 rc1 pretty easy. Back up your flash first of course. If you don't like what you see, roll it right back to what you have now. **If you are running zfs pools, read on upgrading cause I recall something is a one-way trip regarding zfs and 7.0 upgrading. Aside from the zfs part, it's pretty simple and free to give it a go. The arc GPU should show up fine.

Very reasonable questions to which I have no real answer. DNS is always at the top of good tech/engineer's list of things to check when things go sideways for no apparent reason. Hope it remains solid for you.

This definitely stinks of DNS trouble and I think there are two ways to go about this. 1. Modem/Router setting: Configure your Livebox 5 DNS. Go in there and add two DNS IP addresses. I like 9's (9.9.9.9) as well as OpenDNS (208.67.222.222). There are many others out there of course. Cloudflare and Google are very reliable too. This setting combined with your server using modem/router IP of 192.168.1.1 for DNS should get you there. 2. Server setting: Bypass your modem/router DNS completely and remove the 192.168.1.1 as your server DNS IP. You mentioned already setting your server DNS to "I put 9.9.9.9 in IPv4 DNS server 2 and 149.112.112.112". My trouble is that in the logs -url.txt I see DNS 1: 192.168.1.1 only. -network.cfg I see DNS_SERVER1="192.168.1.1" DNS_SERVER2="9.XXX.XXX.9" DNS_SERVER3="149.XXX.XXX.112" Maybe those are obfuscated by the log so I don't know for sure if it is correct. So, go back and check that the DNS IP addresses added in there like you intended.

What kind of modem is it? Is your server connected directly to a modem port? What are you using as a router? Are there switches in between?

I'm glad you got that sorted. Sounds like a setup that will be fun to tinker with.
