I have noticed an ongoing nvme error (its the spammed at the bottom of the syslog). I am uncertain if this is anything to be concerned about, or could be related to the primary problem bringing me here:

My system will randomly no longer be available. I cannot ping it, my monitor does not recognize it, the case fans are all spun down, and the hard drive light does not flicker at all -- however, the power button is still on. The only way I can access it, again, is to hard shut down via the button, and power back up.

 

Edit for additional information:

The system will, generally, stay up anywhere between 2 - 4 days before this will occur. I am not doing anything specific on the system when it does. I run no Virtual Machines, and generally use it as a Plex server, but this has never occurred while watching something on Plex.

This solved my NVME/PCIe error! I greatly appreciate that. I assumed it was a part of the greater error, so I was searching too broadly to find this.

 

I was told I should also include the following information: My server ran flawlessly for a month, before I (gracefully) shut it down and installed a fan. It may be irrelevant, but I am uncertain what information is valuable.

 

I also ran a SMART on the cache, and it came up with no errors. The NVME will not run a SMART, for whatever reason, it just immediately goes black. But, the log for them shows no errors.

 

Edit: Memtest86 also showed no errors.

The NVME will not run a SMART

NVMe devices don't support SMART tests.

 

If the log spam is resolved enable the syslog server and post that after a crash.

Log spam is resolved. The server used to stay up a few days between crashes, now it is not lasting 24 hours between crashes.

Unfortunately there's nothing relevant logged, this usually points to a hardware issue, 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.

Update:

 

The system continued to crash, in safe mode. It is currently being stress tested, by a friend, for hardware faults.
