Hi everyone,

 

Ever since I got my unRAID server up and running I have had crashing issues.

 

The first kind of crash, there will be nothing available, no webGUI/SSH/dockers. Looking at the physical terminal monitor, it is a black screen with no text at all, just a black screen.

 

The second kind of crash is strange, webGUI/SSH is not available, but dockers are. I can watch plex. I can access *arrs and configure them (although they cant communicate with one another, I can see their webGUIs and configure them) - I dont actually know what the physical terminal looks like with this type of crash. Regardless I cant restart remotely (or can you, through docker?!)

 

System logs show almost nothing.

 

Sometimes it lasts 2 months then crashes, other times, 1 day. It most recently lasted 1-2 days. And it was type 2 crash. The worst part is I cant even remotely reboot the PC I have to go physically to it to get it going again.

 

I have ordered a new motherboard, as it was quite a cheap motherboard I bought, in the hopes that this will fix it.

 

I have no idea how to figure out what is causing the crashes.

 

Thanks for any help you can give.. at this point I believe only replacing hardware will help. I ran a memtest about a year ago and it showed no issues (Yes, i have had these crashing issues for over a year now)

Enable the syslog server and post that after a crash.

Hi Jorge,

 

Here is the syslog attached

Do it again

For how long?

 

I will, but i am not sure it will return anything because I was having these issues back then and it showed nothing

Also keep in mind that memtest is only definitive if it finds errors, 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.
