I'm really struggling to understand what's going on with my Unraid box here (7.0.0, patched & updated along the way since around Jan 2022).  It was running stably for ages, then started randomly shutting down/power cycling (including shutting down then after about half an hour booting up again without anyone going near it).  Some people suggested dust might be a factor so I gave it a going over with an air duster and it seemed to start behaving itself again.

 

Then, just last week it started randomly shutting down/power cycling a LOT.

 

I tried following the instructions on 

 after seeing "Power key pressed short." appearing in the syslog.

 

Last night I hooked syslog up to talk to Papertrail, and today its been logging lots of this sort of thing:

I mean, it REALLY thinks someone's pushing that power key.

I noticed the power light on while I was having dinner, and then when I've checked back afterward it was powered down, with the log around that time containing:

which I don't think indicates a shutdown.

 

Anyway, I'm a bit lost as to what to do next.  I've just installed 7.0.1.  WIll keep an eye on the logs but any suggestions accepted.

    Disconnect the power button from the board, it can be going bad.
