Starting in safe mode disables all plugins, you can then also disable VM and docker services, and if stable, start enabling one by one, including individual containers and VMs, if that's not practical, you can try the other way, that is, still in safe mode, but only disable on VM or one container, if still issues enable that one and disable the next.

That's a good place to start, start by running memtest, but note that memtest is only definitive if it finds errors, if you have multiple sticks you can also try with just one, if the same try with a different one, that will basically rule out bad RAM, next suspects after that would be PSU, board, CPU.

So, popped the lid, removed one of the two RAM sticks, fired up server in safe mode and left all dockers running, been up for two days now, started a parity check yesterday and has finished, do the diags look better ? next i will swap sticks over, could it also be the RAM slot and not the actual RAM ? warptower-diagnostics-20240521-0902.zip Quote Link to comment

It could also be simply the fact of having the extra RAM module installed where each one checks out fine individually, but you get failures when both installed. Quote Link to comment

Well, that would be a bummer and about my luck...at least i have stability for now, running on one stick of 8GB Quote Link to comment
loady Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Well its been up and fine for well over a week and running in normal mode with no crashes after removing one stick of RAM... however, i started to notice the drives were chattering away by themselves and the GUI become less and less responsive, its not crashed like it was doing before but its not usuable and pressing power wont shut it down, the drives are going mad, have had to hard shut down and started up but stopped parity check this time, syslog and diags attached. loading things is painfully slow and just gets slower syslog syslog-previous warptower-diagnostics-20240602-1047.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Try booting in safe mode and/or closing any browser windows open to the GUI, only open when you need to use it then close again. Quote Link to comment

Is it being caused because i only have one stick of 8GB RAM in it ? Edited June 2 by loady Quote Link to comment
loady Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Running fine in safe mode, no activity, all drives spun down Quote Link to comment
