I recently upgraded my motherboard for more PCIE slots (Can’t add another ATA card and keep my graphics card installed, sad). After the change, the system started up fine with all its data (Other than some network changes). However, now the system is crashing after remaining idle for a while. I remember changing the auto-spindown setting in the BIOS of my old board, but this one does not have it. Where can I check my crash dump logs to see what happened?
The only change I made was changing out the motherboard, I’ve made no additions or changes otherwise. Wanted to get the new hardware working before I did anything else.
Is a different motherboard and you never know. A good memory test should be done in a new system. Or every so often if possible too.
…then you have bootability and stability. Not because it boots, it runs.
As nonsensical as it sounds, I know.
In any case, that’s my best advise.
Test it, stress it, try to break it. All while measuring temps and what not.
If it all survived, then you have some level of confidence in the hardware.
What exact memory modules are those as 3000Mhz is an odd frequency. Are you overlocking the memory from 2400MHz? Also consider making sure you have the latest motherboard bios.
Those specs were hastily updated from my old signature in the old TrueNAS forums. I didn’t check it properly. I have 4 sticks of Silicon Power, 3200MHz, 8Gb ram, non ECC. When I built the system, it was cheap. When I wanted to update the system, it was cheap. It’s ran faithfully until the MoBo change. Don’t yell at me.
Not yelling at ya man at all. Just trying to work out what might be causing it. Update the bios, run the stress tests as suggested by others. Really all you can do.
I was being facetious in a humorous manner. You do what you got to do to cope with Industrial Maintenance sometimes lol. Just updated the BIOS today before making this post, and the system just crashed a few minutes ago again. I’ll run the test and see what happens.
Do you know where TrueNAS Core dumps its logs? I was able to figure out what happened last time because of that and I can’t remember how I did it.
