Hi all,

 

I suspect I have some failing hardware as recently I don't seem to be able to leave the server on overnight idling without me not being able to access it at all when I come to do anything with it in the morning. Temps when using it are low so I doubt it's overheating.

 

Specs are:-

Motherboard - MSI Z170A Carbon Pro Gaming

RAM - 4x8gb Corsair Vengeance 2400mhz

CPU - 6700k @ Stock

Cooling - Noctua NH-D15

GPU - Powercolor Red Devil 5700 XT

 

I've attached my diagnostics zip from when I had to power down and back on again this morning which I know isn't ideal but maybe someone can find something in there. How do I go about getting a log as it freezes that doesn't get overwritten when I turn it off and back on again?

 

What's my best bet for testing? Memtest? I installed a second kit of ram a few months back but the problem started more recently than that and I've had corruption on the output of the iGPU which leads me to think motherboard or CPU. I recently went back to 6.7.2 from 6.8 because of stability and VM issues.

 

Any help would be appreciated and any thing you want me to run/do to troubleshoot please let me know.

Try enabling the syslog server to see if it captures something.

That was already enabled but I've also enabled the option to mirror to flash which I presume will allow me to see what it logs?

When it happens again post the syslog saved on the flash.

Okay, thank you.

Couldn't get it to do it until again until leaving a VM downloading a game and ended up with a strange gap in the log between the last thing I did with re-attaching a USB device and then the system restarting.

 

Any ideas as to why that would happen?
