Hello any/all.

 

For the longest time I've had this problem where my server would become completely unresponsive. For some unknown reason.  I did what the guide said and disabled C state and made sure no overclocking was done to the RAM, but the issue persists.

 

This freezing would only happen about once a couple times a month (lots of variation) so my "solution" was to connect a smart plug to it and it it it couldn't connect to the server, it would turn off and on rebooting the server.   Bad solution, but the only thing that worked.

 

Now the frequency has increased so much its hitting up to 4 times a day which is more than i can take, hence me begging for help here.

 

I've attached the diagnostics and 4 most recent crash logs.  

Dump 1 and Dump 4 look very similar.

Look more like a hardware issue, you are also having flash drive problems.

Can you detail this out more?

 

Dump 1 and 4 having identical dereference addresses makes me think that the hardware isn't failing due to "dying" but an invalid configuration maybe.  What kind of hardware issue are you thinking, how can I isolate and fix this?

 

What kind of flash drive problems?  What part of the diagnostics/dump makes you think so?  (I didn't see anything there, but I'm also clueless)

 

 

Thank you for your time

Difficult to say, you can first try a different Unraid version, like v6.10.3, if you see the same issues with the very different kernel it's likely hardware.

Silly as it sounds, I turned on XMP to overclock RAM and turned Disk SpinDown to Never.

Haven't had a lock-up yet.  Fingers crossed, but this is the longest in a good while I've had no freeze.

 

Edit: Still alive!  Hope I dont' Jinx it.

Ok, it crashed again.  BUT overclocking the RAM made it last longer (for whatever reason).  The variablility of the crash dumps (especially including the address ones) should also have been a tip off.

 

Swapped the 4x16GB ram sticks to my wife's computer and did MEMTest and one of them is rapidly giving error messages.  Woohoo

There was a dead RAM stick.  Still crashing, but started a new post.
