I just had my system randomly reboot. What is the best way to diagnose/troubleshoot the reason why? What logs should I look at and what am I looking for?
i5-14500
32gb Ram
1x SSD for boot?
Mirrored SSDs for Apps
6x Toshiba in raid z2 for media storage
Cyberpower UPS with monitoring (30 seconds no power shutdown time)
I guess I do have a realtek nic, specifically the startech dual port with realtek rtl8111h chipset. Is that what caused it? However I have had this in the system for several months with solid use, and no issue up until now. If it is that big of an issue, what is a good alternative for a single or dual nic? For checking the PSU, what is the recommendation? For RAM I will use memtest86. Temps should be fine as I have a lot of cooling. The reboot happened while I was transfering files into the nas.
if you dont need the dual port, price drop: i210AT is a good choice, but also i219LM; i219V is consumer but work fine too (all personally tested from various motherboard ).
As davvo said, im one that experienced the same issue time ago, using a realtek integrated nic… for me that happen on high workload, without any significant error log.
