My Unraid server is crashing every 1-2 days, the system reboots and wants to start a parity check. As far as I can see there isn't anything in the syslogs to indicate a cause, it just restarts.

 

I have tried everything I can find online:

 

• Disabling Ethernet Bridging
• Replaced Boot USB
• Running Safe Mode
• Disabling Docker
• Disabling VM
• No Errors from Memtest
• Receives power from UPS and no other connected devices shutdown
• No errors are flagged by Fix Common Problems plugin

 

But it is still crashing. 

 

Is there anything else I can try?

 

If it is a hardware issue, how can I attempt to isolate the issue?

 

Specs:

 

• Unraid 6.11.5

• Motherboard: ASRock Z690 PG Riptide

• CPU: 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12500

• Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 4x8GB DDR4 3600MHz

• Cache: WD Red SN700 1TB NVMe

• Drives: WD Red Pro 20TB

• PSU: Fractal Design Ion Gold

 

Thanks.

Nothing relevant logged, this usually suggests a hardware problem, one thing you can try is to boot the server in safe mode with all docker/VMs disabled, let it run as a basic NAS for a few days, if it still crashes it's likely a hardware problem, if it doesn't start turning on the other services one by one.

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately I have already tried disabling Docker and VM while booting in Safe Mode, so I guess I'll have to start looking at hardware.

 

Are there any tools or techniques for testing my hardware apart from Memtest? Are there particular components I should be looking into first?

PSU is one of the easiest to test and a common source of problems.
