October 31, 20232 yr Recently, my server has been restarting overnight for no apparent reason, and showing unclean shutdown. I ran the syslog and unable to interpret the information to see what triggered the shutdown. How can I tell what is the triggering event? From the log I can see that my windows backup is failing for what ever reason and then the system just reboots. Any thoughts, not sure if the clock issue or unraid not being up to date would cause this.

October 31, 20232 yr If the server is rebooting on its own, instead of crashing or hanging, it's almost always a hardware issue, and those usually don't leave anything logged.
October 31, 20232 yr Author Just did some more digging, fix common problems just found this - any idea why this would happen all of a sudden? Its been working without issue for almost a whole year now.

October 31, 20232 yr Author memtest returned no errors, but system wouldn't boot due to CPU temp for some reason. Disabled that in bios and boots, fine and idle's around 47. Ordered a beefier Noctua to see if that helps with the temps also wondering if that is was caused the random reboots.

November 14, 20232 yr Author So had a few consecutive days of no reboots and then two days straight with 3 reboots total. Looks like one of my m.2 cache drives kicked the bucket and no longer working. Time to RMA hopefully that was the culprit.
