Hey everyone,

 

I need some help understanding what just happened with my Unraid setup. I was running a scheduled parity check today, and everything seemed fine when I left. However, when I got back home, I noticed that my server's uptime was only 10 minutes, meaning it had just rebooted.

 

I have no clue why it rebooted. To make matters worse, the Fix Common Problems plugin chimed in with the following message:

"Machine Check Events detected on your server. Your server has detected hardware errors. The output of mcelog has been logged. Post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the Unraid forums."

 

I'm not sure what triggered the reboot or what these hardware errors could be. I've attached my diagnostics files for review, I’m hoping someone can explain what might have caused this and what steps I should take next to diagnose and fix these hardware issues.

 

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Server rebooting by itself is almost always a hardware problem start by running memtest, or since memtest is only definitive if it finds errors, and if you have multiple sticks try using the server with just one, if the same try with a different one, that will basically rule out bad RAM., 

i think i know what the problem was.

 

i wanted to do a memtest as you advised, but in the meantime i had over 1000 UDMA CRC errors on 1 drive.
the errors indicating a loose connection/bad cable... i decided to clean and rebuild my system,
everything seems fine so far, lets hope it stays this way.
