March 14, 20242 yr I've attached diagnostics, but my server has started rebooting randomly every few days. I haven't upgraded the OS or really changed anything, so I'm wondering if there is a hardware issue. However, looking at sys logs, there's nothing around the time the reboot happens. Any ideas? My only theory atm is my battery backup is dieing and randomly cutting power. media-diagnostics-20240314-1046.zip syslog-192.168.86.42.log
March 14, 20242 yr Community Expert There's nothing relevant logged, suggesting a hardware issue, and if the server is rebooting on its own that also point to hardware (or bad power).
March 14, 20242 yr Author Thanks, that's what I saw as well. Are there specific types of hardware issues that don't show up in logs? I seem to recall memory issues and that type of thing typically showing up. Just trying to narrow where to start looking. For now I've moved it off the UPS to see if that is the cause.

March 29, 20242 yr Author Solution Closing this out, after 2 weeks no crashes. Seems very likely the UPS was just failing.
