xdriver Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 My server keeps crashing once the parity check starts. I think it may be some kind of power issue because I need to turn off the power supply, wait a while, turn it back on, and then the server will boot up. How do I diagnose this with more accuracy than me just guessing? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Check all temps and fans, after that try with a new PSU if available. Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 All fans are spinning, and drive temps are all 77F or lower. Other than those temps, what else and where should I look? My fans are all 3 prong, so not a lot of control of them. Server was offline for a few days till I could haul a monitor close to it, and upon booting it up, and the parity check starting, it immediately (like 3 minutes into the check) powered itself off. I just booted it up and unchecked the parity check box and the server has been online for 12 minutes. When the parity check starts, does it spin all the drives at once and not have enough power? I don't have access to a new PSU but can purchase one. 7 drives + Parity + SSD cache, any suggestions? If helpful, I have attached the system diagnostics file Unraid 6.1.1.5 Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

JorgeB Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Drive temps won't cause the server to power off, CPU and/or PSU can. Quote Link to comment

itimpi Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 It does sound very like a power issue. You have not mentioned what PSU model you are currently using. 13 minutes ago, xdriver said: When the parity check starts, does it spin all the drives at once Yes. You need a PSU that can handle this. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 CPU you can check in the BIOS, for the PSU just check that the fan is working. Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Any suggestions on a new PSU? I’d prefer to keep it under $200 if that’s realistic. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted January 4, 2023 Author Share Posted January 4, 2023 Would this do it? https://www.newegg.com/corsair-rmx-series-rm750x-cp-9020199-na-750w/p/N82E16817139271Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) I replaced the PSU with an EVGA 650 G+ and it seems to be working. Any good methods to test the old PSU for the sake of it? https://www.newegg.com/evga-supernova-120-gp-0650-x1-650w/p/N82E16817438131?Description=evga 650 G+&cm_re=evga_650 G+-_-17-438-131-_-Product&quicklink=true EDIT: was up and running for 9 hours and then crashed. Having the same issue of being able to unplug/turn off the PSU for a while and then turning the power back on but it will crash again after 5-10 minutes of being booted up but not using it. I also just tried reseating the ram, and installing a new CPU fan after cleaning the old thermal paste off. Also replaced the CMOS battery. It stayed working for a bit, but still shutting off.
