kikkawa Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Hello Unraid Community! My server keeps randomly rebooting at random times, it happened a few weeks back ensured everything was up to date as when it rebooted it kept killing plex config xml which required a rebuild of the docker. Since then it was running 24/7 for around 3 weeks with no issues from what i could tell but it has restarted twice today one at 5am and then again around 11am (08/01/2023) When it happened first time memtest was ran for 8 hours, had no errors Bios is up to date and tried restoring default Tested psu and tried another one still rebooted Tested different ram still reboots Disabled all vms so they are not running, removed dockers that are no longer used and cleaned the app data I've attatched the diagnostics file and syslog, enabled syslog after the first rebooting ocurred but cant see the cause to the reboots Seems silly but i do have a wifi plug to monitor power usage but fail to see how this would cause it to reboot at all Im hopeing the more knowledgable people would be able to point in the direction of the faults tower-diagnostics-20230108-1234.zip syslog-192.168.200.137.log Edited January 8, 2023 by kikkawa Missed information added Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted January 9, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 9, 2023 Unfortunately there's nothing relevant logged, this usually suggests a hardware problem, or some power issue. 1 Quote Link to comment
kikkawa Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi JorgeB, Thank you for taking a look at the logs for me and confirming my thoughts of cant find anything that indicates the reboot I've had the system running on a single 8GB stick overnight, its finishing a parity check before i play around it more I beleive one of the 8 8Gb sticks could have a fault that wasnt picked up by memtest, as so far it seems to be stable just with high ram usage! Ill add a second stick later on and look at replacing them as well 1 Quote Link to comment

Passing memtest is not always a definitive indication that there is no RAM issue (whereas a failure is always an issue). 1 Quote Link to comment
kikkawa Posted January 9, 2023 Author Share Posted January 9, 2023 Memtest does seem very broad and looks at the whole, says yeah everything looks good. Maybe if you ran each stick with memtest on an indivual basis (would take a long time) it *might* show some errors but for the sake of a few power downs and some clicking ram in, its eaiser to swap hardware You've been fantastic thank you!

I can confirm i found 2 sticks of RAM that would not POST when they were installed solo on the system, these have been replaced and the system has been online for 2.5 days so far with no issues Thank you for you help itimpi! 1 Quote Link to comment
