Hi everyone,

I'm hoping to get some help diagnosing some instability I've been experiencing with my Unraid server. It's been having unclean shutdowns, and I've been noticing very high load averages and a number of strange errors in my logs.

I've pulled the logs, and the most concerning thing I've found is a new error from the "Fix Common Problems" plugin regarding Machine Check Events.

Primary Issue: Machine Check Errors (MCE)

My latest syslog shows this critical error:

Jul 14 04:40:44 mediaserver root: Fix Common Problems: Error: Machine Check Events detected on your server
Jul 14 04:40:44 mediaserver root: mcelog: ERROR: AMD Processor family 25: mcelog does not support this processor.  Please use the edac_mce_amd module instead.
Jul 14 04:40:44 mediaserver root: CPU is unsupported

This seems to point to a potential hardware-level issue with the CPU, which is very concerning.

Other Symptoms I'm Experiencing:

• High Load & Performance Issues: My load average is consistently high (e.g., 5.00, 2.64, 1.78). top shows that dockerd and shfs are the main culprits for high CPU usage.

• GraphQL API / My Servers Errors: The graphql-api log is filled with errors about failing to load configs and being unable to connect to Docker and Libvirt.

• Samba Errors: My logs show repeated Samba (smbd) errors related to parsing DFS paths.

• Plugin and Docker Updates: I have several pending plugin and Docker updates that I have not yet applied while trying to diagnose these issues.

System Specifications:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16-Core Processor

• Memory: 128GB RAM

• Kernel: 6.12.24-Unraid

Given the MCE errors, I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. Could this be a sign of a failing CPU, a motherboard issue, or perhaps something related to BIOS settings?

I have all the diagnostic logs downloaded and have attached them. Any advice on what to check next would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks in advance for your support!
