[Solved] Major problem with Unraid dying randomly!

Featured Replies

This has been going on for quite some time now...

 

Unraid would run perfectly fine for hours then it randomly dies. The computer is still power on but the Web GUI cant be accessed, no SMB shares or pings get a response. I have went through all the forums and checked and changed lots of different things but to no avail unfortunately. It seems to happen when I let the system download/unpack files over a period of time, so after an hour or two of Sabnzbd doing its thing, it would go dead. So I am thinking it is to do with the CPU getting under heavy load and it is causing a problem over time. Its not overheating or anything and performs fine regardless. If I just run plex on the server by itself, it seems to behave fine and not have any issues. Its when all my dockers are running, it seems to knock off.

OpenSSL: 1.1.1h

 

I have tried everything to fix it so I am hoping someone on here can point me in the right direction. 

I have also had problems where when it does 'die'...I have to do a hard reset to get it to boot again. But sometimes, the motherboard wont even boot so I cant get to the bios at all....But after a few hard resets, it comes back. I am not sure if the problems are related. 

 

I have attached a Diagnostics files from now and a Syslog file that has been mirroring to the USB for a few days to catch why the server is dying. The first few days, I noticed problems with my cache drive but it has been formatted now and it all seems fine. 

 

The most recent crashes can be seen on the Syslog where there is a gap in time but I cant see anything that caused it...

 

Please can someone help me out and put me out of my misery??

 

TIA

How about this?

Ive did everything regarding the PSU and C states but it didnt help. 

 

Never seen the thread about RAM, that may be the problem. I have 4 sticks in that seem to be over the supported speed so I will remove two to see if that is a fix! 

 

I will report back.

 

Thanks mate!

Maybe just reduce the speed ?

It would probably be better IMO.

Didn't even know I could do that! Great idea, I will do that if the two sticks last the night!

 

Been running now for 4 hours and seems strong, hopefully it will survive!

 

Will keep you updated, thanks!

Unfortunately when Sabnzbd started downloading again in the middle of the night, Unraid froze up again and I couldnt access it....No output on the monitor also. 

 

Attached is the syslog again, but doesnt show anything that I can see. It froze up at about 00:30 this morning.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks!

Died again this morning when only Plex was doing its scheduled tasks. Attached is what was on the monitor shortly before it died....I cant make any sense out of it!

Where did you end up with the RAM configuration?

  • Author

I took 2 sticks out and just ran with the two sticks but still failed.

I've now put all 4 back and reduced the speed to the max supported speed to see if that will help. But I don't think it's a RAM issue now as it kept on crashing this morning.

This also came up whenever I was trying to boot after a failure..Not sure if its related.

Just rebooted and it booted into Unraid.

Have you done memtest?

  • Author

Yes, it all passed but that was a few weeks back.

 

Should I do another one?

 

Cheers.

  • Community Expert

Did this problem start after you did the previous memtest?

  • Author

Nope, problem has been going on for months now!

  • 3 weeks later...

To anyone who is having a similar problem. It ended up being the speed of the RAM sticks...I just reduced the speed in the Bios and the server has now been on for 20 days straight! 

 

Cheers
