Random Unclean Shutdowns

Featured Replies

Hello everyone,

I am having some annoying issues with random unclean shutdowns 1x or 2x a day. I have adjusted the timers mentioned at the beginning of this thread and read through a bit or this thread trying to sort it out. Many said to look into hardware issues. I ran Memtest overnight and found zero errors on the ram mentioned below, I have tried a different mobo/processor configuration, I have tried a duplicate USB drive, I have tried disabling VM and docker services, and none of these seem to make a difference. I am running a UPS and have monitored USB 5v output and have not seen any irregularities. I have tried both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports for the boot drive.

My machine specs:

2x Crucial 8GB DDR5 4800 (PC5 38400) CL40 Model CT8G48C40u5

Intel Core I5 12600K w/ intergrated graphics (unlocked)

Gigabyte B760I Aorus Pro DDR5 ITX motherboard

M.2 NVME cache: KingSpec SSD 2TB NX-2TB-2280 PCIe 3.0x4

Power supply: Silverstone SST-SX500-G 500 watt 80 plus gold modular power supply

PCI to SATA adapter: Eluteng 4 port pcie expansion card 6gbps SATA 3.0

Array: 4x HGST UltrastarHe12 12TB 7.2kRPM SATA 6Gb/s (1 is a parity drive)

Case: Jonsbo N2

Boot Drive: Samsung Bar 64 GB Unraid 7.2.0

Its mainly a media server with some homelab stuff thrown in. I have had issues with the latest unraid 7.2.0 and the version before 7.1.4.

I have attached the last sys.log. Please let me know if any additional information is necessary. This has been driving me crazy for a couple of weeks!

Please let me know if I should post elsewhere instead. Thanks.

If you mean the server reboots/shuts down by itself, that's almost always a hardweare issues, 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.

I will try that and report back. It wont stay running for more than a day usually. Thanks!

It turned out to be the PCIE SATA Card of all things. Thanks for the help.
