December 6, 20232 yr Hey every body, I'm a new unraid user and just set my server up last week. Everything was running great until yesterday after swapping out a windows boot option 250gb ssd for a 2tb cache ssd, my server started doing this thing where it would go offline or something - the machine itself has all the lights on, cpu fans spinning, hard drive bays connected to power supply lights on, but the unraid web gui won't load, the shares go offline from my network, a monitor plugged in outputs no signal , and even plugging in a keyboard and mouse in they won't light up or power up. This seems to happen after a few hours of running fine. To fix it the only thing I've been able to do is holding down the power button physically on the machine... After that, I can turn it back on , a black screen with a cursor _ will appear for a few minutes but then the bios (ASROCK) logo will flash and it will boot into unraid, and it will all work no problem, no errors on the main screen , drives all load fine, until a few more hours where it goes back into the weird dormant state like I was describing before. This all happened yesterday after a simple change but I'm assuming it must have had something to do with it because it started happening soon after and never before but I don't know how to fix. The machine was originally set up as a windows pc and had a 250gb m.2 ssd installed and was still in the bios as a boot 2 priority after the unraid usb. I bought a 2tb ssd to use as a cache drive, so yesterday I powered down the machine, took out the 250gb windows ssd and put in the new cache ssd. I went to the bios and set boot priority to only include the one option of the unraid flash drive. I formatted the new 2tb ssd cache drive but haven't added it to the array yet, although it does show in unnasigned devices. And that's the only change I made, but shortly after that the server has started randomly going dormant or whatever every few hours and besides forcefully powering it off and on I really don't know what else to do! If anyone has any ideas what to check or do I would really appreciate it because I feel really lost with this. Thanks every body.
