January 8, 20251 yr My server has been crashing a lot recently. It will run fine for a day or two, then crash, but it is still reporting to the syslog watcher and my router still sees it, but I cant ping it on my LAN or via my VPN (tailscale) I have attached the syslog file. And it seemingly did it again around 3am Jan 8th 2025 (today). But I honestly don't really know what to do with this infomation and would love some help. And the only way to get it back online it to do a hard reboot. The only major change I have done to it is I added a RTX 3050 (specifically this one. Used. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-Graphics-WINDFORCE-GV-N3050OC-6GL/dp/B0CVHD8PLP) to my server a few weeks ago, and everything seemed to work fine until a few days ago when I started having these issues. I don't know if they are related, but I am pulling my GPU for now to see if it becomes more stable without it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Edit: System info Motherboard: PRO Z790-P WIFI Ram: 32gb CPU: i5-14500 (mobo updated to hopefully fix microcode) Case: supermicro 4u server with backplane Power: Dual 1500w PSUs with UPS backup syslog Edited January 8, 20251 yr by indianazoidberg
January 8, 20251 yr Community Expert There are multiple Nvidia related call traces, retest without the GPU, or just uninstall the Nvidia driver, also seeing some NIC related issues, but test without the GPU first.

Done and its now running again, and running another parity check. And I uninstalled the Nvidia driver as well. Could this be a example of a issue with the Nvidia driver plugin, or the driver its self? Or a physical GPU issue? I got this GPU because its not externally powered, just via PCIe. And thoughts or advice on the NIC issues? What are the issues? Do you think its serious?
January 9, 20251 yr Community Expert See if doesn't crash without the GPU and after the server is up for a few hours post new diags to see if there are still NIC related issues.

A new log with it now running fine. If its still running without issue in a few days, then I guess the issue was the GPU? Its a shame because that GPU was very helpful for encoding videos syslog
January 10, 20251 yr Community Expert No errors but looks like there's a container constantly restarting, see if you can find which one by looking at their uptimes.

Thats interesting. I had no idea. It looks like its meilisearch which is a dependency for another docker container. Even though its constantly restarting, its working fine. I'll keep a eye on it.
