Hey all. I've been playing with Unraid for about 2 weeks now, and have been trying to troubleshoot 2 frustrating problems. Thanks for any help you can offer!
1 - My server won't boot unless I move over my GTX 2080 from my gaming computer and attach a monitor. Once attached, it boots from the USB and starts without needing any input from my end. I've been able to subsequently remove the GPU after it boots. But if I boot the server without the GPU, the server doesn't start. Not really sure what's happening there. My CPU doesn't have integrated graphics, so I can't attach a monitor that way.
2 - Upon booting, my server will last anywhere from 2 to 36 hours before crashing. I've been right beside it when it's happened several times; the fans and lights are all still on, except it can't be reached, and it's gone from my router's Connected Devices panel. When I turn it off and on (after reconnecting my GPU and monitor), it boots fine and then needs a Parity check, which is starting to get tedious.
Steps tried to no avail:
The server has 2 x 32GB RAM. I've tried running with both sticks, as well as each stick individually.
Updated the motherboard BIOS
Copying logs to the USB stick. After the most recent crash, there were no entries within 10min of the crash, so I'm not sure if there's much useful. I can post the full log if it would be helpful.
Next steps:
reseating the CPU?
replacing the CPU with one with integrated graphics?
replacing the CPU and mobo with newer models?
any other ideas?
Thanks!
