Hello there,

I am working my way through identification of the causes of my issues. But would greatly appreciate some help.

I experienced a SYSTEM HALT. System was on, Fans Spinning, but no one was home. IPMIKVM etc, everything frozen. This was unusual.

After reboot, I had trouble with the boot device. (scanned and repaired in another windows device as errors found) then was able to boot again. But System was stalling Freezing pretty regularly. 3 times while trying to watch "the foundation" latest episode.

I have worked through replacement of USB using restoration method. This was getting same HALT outcome.

I'm sensing hardware issue, or power related. But also thinking USB system files issue.

NOTE: Hardware issue concern started much longer ago. Sometimes when i boot system, i must reboot a few times before it will complete a boot correctly/completely, resulting in loading the usb. Sometimes it just doesn't even get to the UNRAID boot selection screen. this boot issue has continued after my USB change and testing more than one port on the motherboard.

Then cleared the USB and installed 7.14 back and transferred over my configs.
Booted and definitely noticed a speed bump in boot. Some years of customs and old plugins etc.

However, I am still noticing some issue with GUI and or Connect Plugin. BUT! Server is no longer crashing out!

I feel as though something possibly may be discovered further that are leading to these issues.

I have just tried to utilise the 7.2 beta2 again. and now i have the flash drive corrupted or offline message. Downgrade to 7.14 removed the message. Upgrade again to 7.2 beta - brought back the Corrupted message. Could be a false warning. USB is online and writes and read occuring it appears.

Anyone like to assist or lead me astray>?

Please post the diagnostics after you get the flash drive corrupted error.

im away and logged into check just now and the offline/corruption message appears to be gone. Ill issue a reboot to see if it comes back.

i did notice this in the logs however. 4 times same entry in less than 10minutes.

webGui/nchan/parity_list timed out after 30 seconds. Exiting.

navigating around the GUI i was able to produce some more.

Corrupted USB message hasn't come back. I may down grade and upgrade again to prompt it. not sure of another way to "force" it.

an issue that is persistent is for example. the gui Unraid Icon (top right) the Connect Menu. sometimes it hides after click (refresh to bring back - dissapear after click again). But every time (when menu isn't disappearing as mentioned before) I click the submenu for ConnectMenu>Settings or ConnectMenu>GoToConnect, nothing happens at all. Happening on Stable version for me. the other options are working ok (Check for update, My Account, and sign out).

Just to note: tried on more than one end point and browser vendor. Adding some notes below for browser investigation

missed mention of troubleshooting of browser behaviour to confirm

Plugin update just came through, Version 2025.09.08.1804 fixed GUI issue. even the display issue from API keys in the Connect settings page.

That was short lived. Behaviour is back to Connect icon dissapear and API section missing from Connect settings page.

Hey looks alike server is partially running again. How can I preserve diagnostics before going to next steps. Ui is unresponsive.

Dan

See if you get them on the CLI/SSH by typing diagnostics there.

ok. Server has been running for a while now. but not in the error state. NOTE: since rebuilding the OS USB and migrating the settings over (instead of a restore). I'd have to say it has been a great improvement overall.

I am going to share diagnostics despite no frozen SYSTEM state in the current uptime. perhaps something in this still that you might be able to determine.. Noticed there a couple diags from last month sitting here. sharing those 2 also.

Please ignore if this is pointless. i will reply with diagnostics when system in error state soon as i can.

ok had another crash - i had quite a few things in motion this time (so feeling a little more negative this time). everything just freezes up (network adapters offline - all activity ceases) . I tried adjusting the syslog to store locally. but looks as though also issue with this. Does it appear that it's unable to write to this location.?
I have tried more than one share. and doesn't appear to be generating any files. What is the easiest way i can catch this little terror in its tracks?!??

If this isn't from the persistent syslog, post a screenshot from the syslog server settings page.

You need to enter the local server IP in the remote server field; see the instructions.

The last line was repeated till the second image - 20,000 lines at the same time stamp. however server crashed at 7am many hours later. nothing really posted in logs immediately prior to system offline. was sitting powered up and unresponsive.

Edited December 6, 2025Dec 6 by DejMacro

That syslog appears to be after a reboot, it only covers 3 minutes of uptime, and next time, please attach it to the forum; don't copy/paste its contents.

my apologies.

Have attached latest 2 from usb, after repair usb and make bootable i am back up running for the moment.

I did notice some power events in BMC/IPMI from recent time before crash.

The logs I have posted don't give me confidence of an OS side issue causing freeze.
going to consider this a power issue for the time being.

I don't like all the kernel errors in unraid logs. not sure i can do much with them from my experience so far

many thanks

Feel the same.

OK So we have replaced the PSU with 1000w Platinum Seasonic.

New Batteries in APC UPS. Draw in watts isn't peaking and VA is fine. But batteries were at 3 years. So, remove that possibility from equation by replace them. We do get the odd power outage here. especially this time of year.

UPS load should be fine. It's just the server and a Switch and Router plugged on to UPS.

Checked all cables. New ones installed with PSU anyways. All fans running, all devices showing online.

But System just drops after boot. mostly after everything is up and running array started. Anyone out there got some pointers for troubleshooting this.

Maybe UNRAID doesn't understand my hardware. I have tried tweaking motherboard settings to more reliable states, reduce boosting and power sleep settings. to keep everything awake.

Feeling more and more lost as I go.

thanks

When you say "drop," do you mean "shuts down" or "hangs?" Still nothing logged?

Yer. It just disappears. And is back booting up again. USB gets killed (corrupted/unbootable) 99% of the time.

I think I am going to tear my 2 desktops apart and build try and determine if its mobo ram or CPU I guess.

I find it hard to believe it's going to be the WS680 ACE. but I guess more bizarre things have happened. I haven't had such a mysterious issue before. and had happily been using the hard ware for quite some time.

if I move the unraid mobo-ram-cpu to desk/desktop setup. I guess we will see if its reliable. perhaps in a different scenario it will be. but also if i get the same results after changing the motherboard ram and cpu then guess i have to start looking at hard disks. or the GPU not much after that.

That suggests it's rebooting by itself, I see that you have a 13600K, so it could be the Intel 13/14 gen issue; that's one of the more affected models, and there have been multiple confirmed cases of instability issues caused by those and related CPUs.

ok i just dove into that info. seems like it is pretty well reported. suggesting 12700 non-K as a good/best alternative?

Been running windows 11 on the hardware for 30mins or more without error so far. perhaps it's more pronounced in certain configurations. I'm reading that I might have luck with locking down some of the behaviour in BIOS for the CPU. it may help. But might just get the more suitable CPU and be done with it?

NOPE EDIT. Windows also getting no-where. lasted short while, back to the same behaviour.

Thanks for your help. speaking with vendor now. And will probably get a 12th gen non K CPU.

Whilst I work away at the RMA request. And for anyone else out there with same/similiar issue.

Intel 13th and 14th Gen CPU i9 and i7 and the like are all affected to a degree, less or more. My Intel CPU 13600K which I purchased thinking it might be more reliable as it was verified for more intense tasks. is affected.

After following on from advice online and using best guess I have found the ability to further reduce the spikes and voltage requirements.

Motherboard changes:

long and short duration wattage reduced to 65 and 65w and 28 seconds.
boosting turned off.

Core Ratios down to 3.5ghz.

memory capped at 3200.

CPU has ---> 1 P core disabled and all E cores disabled.

Was getting longer and longer ON period as i reduced this down.

System uptime is in the hours again. WOOHOO> thanks intel.

I have raised an RMA, can't imagine ill have this buttoned up before Xmas. Must be on the COAL list.

Thanks
