xdriver Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I posted before and thought I had figured it out by changing the power supply, updating the BIOS, changing the CMOS battery, reseating cables and even testing each stick of ram individually, but no luck. Sometimes it will stay running for an hour, sometimes 9 or so hours. Help would be appreciated. I had an old box running fine for years, but as of "updating" to a second hand rig from a friend, I am getting quite frustrated. Are there any specific logs that would be useful to gain some help with this, maybe something gets recorded on each crash? Any monitoring apps I should add while the server is up and running. Are there any issues with any of this hardware and compatibility with UNRAID? Thank you in advance Model: N/A M/B: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.

Is this file visible as soon as apply and done are clicked, or only after a shutdown/crash? I do not see it appearing yet on the flash drive. Thank you Quote Link to comment

I wasn't able to see it by browsing on my mac to the flash drive, but I can see it by browsing through the GUI on the "Main" tab for my server. I have attached the current file that I believe is it. However, the server has not crashed yet. syslog Edited January 25, 2023 by xdriver add screenshot Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 You should post your diagnostics and the syslog mirrored to flash after crash. Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) It crashed last night and I was able to boot it up for about 5 minutes just now and this is the only log I was able to get from the flash drive before it crashed again (this time being 5 minutes into booting rather than 10-12 or so hours yesterday. There was no tower-diagnostic with any dates other than the attachment in my previous post. Should there have been one with yesterday's date on it? syslog (1) Edited January 25, 2023 by xdriver Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Jan 24 13:19:48 Tower kernel: usb usb4-port3: over-current condition Jan 24 13:26:39 Tower kernel: usb usb3-port3: over-current condition Several of these logged, this can cause issues, see if you can identify the device causing them.

xdriver Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 I pulled the plug on the front USB cable and put my flash drive in a different port, but it appears there is still an overcurrent. This time I was able to get a diagnostics file syslog (2) tower-diagnostics-20230104-0753.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Is the flash drive the only connected USB device, no card readers or other devices? Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted January 25, 2023 Author Share Posted January 25, 2023 Correct. flash drive, ps/2 keyboard, DVI cable, network cable. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Then would suggest replacing the flash drive. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 If it continues it's likely a board problem. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll try the flash firs, but I don't think it's that since it came from a different rig and worked fine, plus I moved the flash drive into a different location on this rig that is located on a different part of the motherboard, yet it still has that usb3 and usb4 current error. Thank you very much for sticking with me and working through trying to sort this out Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 I ended up purchasing a USB tester, and all the ports are 4.83 volts. Still seems odd. Any idea if there could be a BIOS setting that shuts the computer down? Any suggestions on a new MOBO to reuse my ddr3 memory and LGA 1155 CPU? Quote Link to comment
ConnerVT Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Late to the party, but I'll toss out a few thoughts: If it was a BIOS setting, the shutdown would likely be more like pressing the power button (giving a clean shutdown). So your failure sounds more of a hardware issue. That you tested USB voltage is good, but your failure happens intermittently, over time. OK when you tested, then something happens and not ok. Is the system running hot? If it is overheating (especially the motherboard and/or VRM) this could cause the issue you are seeing. Are you overclocking? Made any changes to the voltage settings in your BIOS? If so, set things back to default. "Over-current" conditions are typically caused by something trying to pull too much power. Check the system that all of the wiring is undamaged and connected correctly. I'd recommend temporarily disconnecting any case and accessory cables (front panel USB, audio, etc.). The power/reset switches are OK to stay connected. A pinched or damaged cable can cause your issue. Plug your boot drive, kb, etc. in the MB back panel. At this point, it sounds like a hardware failure. 5V is all over the entire system. The two main culprits would be the motherboard (failing VRM circuitry) or power supply. Swapping out the PSU with a known good one is the easier task of the two. Quote Link to comment

Sounds to me like it's time to replace the old, failing hardware (MB in particular is the prime suspect) with a brand new component set. Even if it means discarding the old but still functioning parts. There is no reason to look for an outdated motherboard just for the purpose of re-using the also outdated RAM (DDR4 is real cheap now) or inefficient by today's standards CPU. Especially considering that Unraid makes the process of hardware upgrading real simple. Edited February 4, 2023 by Lolight Quote Link to comment
xdriver Posted March 1, 2023 Author Share Posted March 1, 2023 I think it may be heat related because when it shuts down, I can not boot it right back up. The longer I wait to boot it, the longer it will stay running. How can I monitor temperatures while the server is running? Quote Link to comment
