Thanks. Maybe at some point I will test, but now I let it run without the GPU statistics Once when the server crashed, the boot drive got corrupted, so I had to restore it from the cloud backup I don't think I changed the interval from the default in the plugin config.

I have tried that quite many times now, without any issues. I will report back if I notice any further problems. What might be causing the GPU statistics plugin on the dashboard to crash the server?!

It is now quite safe to say that the problem was due to the GPU statistics plugin. Server still running fine, with many hw-transcodes.

This is interesting! I am fairly sure I had the dashboard open (or I just tried to login) every time the server crashed. I now removed GPU statistics, re-installed the nvidia driver, and activated it in the Plex server. It has now been running fine since last evening, and today I had it hw-transcode 4 movies at the same time, with no issue (yet). I will let it run like this (and not even logging into the Unraid UI...) to see if it is stable! UPDATE 30/8: Server still stable with no crash, after I removed GPU statistics plugin. This is great, but would be interesting to know why?! 🤔

Hello! I have been asking about this in "General Support", but now trying here also. I started to get random crashes of the Unraid server 16/8, after the system had been running stable for over a year. First about once a day, then a lot more often. When it happens, I need to hold the power-button for a few seconds to shut the server down. I am now fairly sure it is somehow related to the Nvidia driver/plugin. With the driver uninstalled, the server has not hang/crashed once. If I install it back (latest version), the problem usually appears within hours. It crashes even if there is no transcoding going on in the Plex server (which is the only thing I use the GPU for). The mother board is really old (Hewlett-Packard p6-2265eo/2ADA, BIOS 7.12 06/07/2012), but it has worked fine with Nvidia gtx 1650 (until now)?! Any suggestions/ideas what to try? An older (specific) version of the driver? Has someone else seen something similar? Thanks!

ok, will do.

Any suggestions what to try? Older Nvidia driver versions? Thanks.

Quick question - do you have the Nvidia driver/plugin installed? I started to get similar behavior 16/8 suddenly, after the server has been stable over year. For me it seems related to the Nvidia driver (I use for Plex transcoding), as the server has worked since I uninstalled the driver. Now searching for a solution, hoping it is not a hardware issue (gtx 1650).

Thanks. I removed the Nvidia driver plugin. Live Memory Tester has now been running fine for 2 hours. Checking the Nvidia driver plugin support forum, for anything similar.

Hello, I have experienced 4 random crashes in the last 2 weeks. Today I run memtest86 for a few hours, with no errors. Then I tested the Live Memory Tester for a few minutes, and the server crashed with these updates in the syslog: Does this mean something to someone? 🙂 Why is nvidia mentioned?
