Server randomly crashing, how to diagnose?

Featured Replies

So i have been dealing with what seems to be completely random crashes with my unraid server.

 

My server can be running for days, and then suddenly just drop out. Wednesday morning after the system crashed again i updated from unRAID 6.11.x to 6.12.5 and i immediately enabled the syslog to flash mirroring in the settings. Then this morning (two days later) i thought "Well it hasn't crashed since then and i did a big update, so there's a decent chance the problem is solved. I read having syslog to flashing enabled for too long is not recommended, so i'll disable it", and i did, and then just now it crashed again.

 

I have a PiKVM connected to the server and when the server crashes the PiKVM doesn't receive any video signal at all, but the fans are still spinning and the power LED on the server is on.

 

My server has a Gigabyte Z690M Aorus Elite AX DDR4 motherboard and an i5 12600K with 128GB DDR4 RAM. I read that the processor officially only supports DDR4 up to 3200mhz but mine was running at 3600mhz with XMP, i just turned that back to 3200mhz so maybe that will help.

 

I have now enabled syslog to flash mirroring again. Are there any other steps i can take to help diagnose the next time this happens? Here are my current server diagnostics in case it shows anything already, but again this is from after a reboot, because when it crashes i have no access at all to the server (no networking and no video signal): tower-diagnostics-20231201-1706.zip
