Call Traces / Machine Check Events - Please Help

[Tbigs2011]

Hello,

I have been using Unraid for about 9 months so far using this sever with no issues. I have recently been watching SpaceInvader's YouTube channel videos to try to use Unraids full potential. I have been making a good bit changes in regards to VM's and dockers lately so I am wonder if this is why I am now running into issues. Anyway, I have installed the plugin "Fix Common Problems" in the past and for a little while I have been getting errors "Call Traces found on your server" and "Machine Check Events detected on your server". I scanned through the syslog and did see some warnings stating that "Core temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled". Is this what is triggering the messages in Fix Common Problems?

 

I tried to take a look at the temps of the CPU cores with the "System Temp" plugin but I am able to load the temps once and then the driver no longer works. When I did see the temps (after stressing out the machine) they all were at an average of 150 F. Is this normal?

 

Is there anything else that I am missing that is causing problems? Please let me know if you can see anything wrong with my configuration.

Yes.  (for the mce errors).  And its triggering enough that you've overflowed the buffer that stores the mcelog.

 

Side note:

Oct  8 04:40:37 UNRFS root: Fix Common Problems: Other Warning: CPU possibly will not throttle down frequency at idle

 

The call trace is unrelated, and is a page allocation failure.  You can try this though and see if it makes a difference. (not quite sure)

 

Install Tips & Tweaks plugin and change these settings:

Thanks for the quick response! I will give that a shot.

 

I have one other question and maybe this is more of a plugin support question but in "Tips & Tweaks" the "CPU Frequency Scaling" option is blank and on the side it states "no driver". I know this server / CPU has turbo boost and it is enabled. Is there a way to get a driver to be recognized? If this is in the wrong place, my apologies.

 

Thanks!

IDK.  The thread that particular test came from is this: https://forums.lime-technology.com/topic/47757-powernow_k8-not-loaded-for-amd-cpus/

 

But I did a quick google search for "unraid cpu scaling driver" and got a fair number of results (searching in the forum itself seems to always suck)
