OMV keeps restarting

Hi all

So I'm very new to this NAS thing but wanted to give OMV a try. I managed to install it ok, but every 5-10mins I noticed the webUI would become unresponsive and I realised that it was because the NAS box is restarting due to some error.

I plugged in a monitor and caught one of the restart cycles. The monitor was displaying this:

Suffice to say I have no idea what this means or why it is doing this. Again, I'm very new to OMV and linux in general, so I'm sure there is more helpful information I could provide - let me know what that might be, and how I can get it, and I'll post it up

thanks in advance

The box is actually an old computer that I've been using for a few years now, only stopped using it a week ago when I got a new machine. Can it still be a RAM issue if I've never noticed any problems during the time it was my main computer?

Will try a memtest once I've exhausted all other options (I don't believe I can run that with OMV installed? I only know how to run it from windows)

I have also submitted a support log: 99JwUZtW

I tried installing the latest backports kernel. I haven't seen the restart issue since then, but only time will tell I guess. I'll accept that the backports kernel fixed the problem, assuming the support info doesn't give a clue as to something else being the cause of the problem

nice, once running memtest, how would I know that there is a problem with one of the dimms?

The machine has started rebooting itself again. This time not as often (once every 4 hours maybe). It just happened so I grabbed a system log from OMV webgui and attached it here if it helps diagnose the problem at all

There is nothing in the Syslog what could tell me why it froze up.

did the support log I posted earlier offer anything useful?

will run the memtest when I get home

memtest has been running now for 10+ hours with no errors, I think its safe to assume the RAM is OK. I'll let it run for another few hours while I'm at work but I doubt anything will come up

I'm going to do a full bios update after I get home later

Random Restarts:

1. Ram
2. PSU

The one time I've had this problem, I thought for sure it was the RAM, and rather than sitting through 10hrs of testing, just went out and bought new RAM.

Opened up the case and was getting ready to pull the old memory, when I just happened to glance at my hard drives power connector.. I could see a small piece of copper in the back of the molex connector (like someone had stripped the wire). I unplugged the drive, and as I pulled on the connector... literally one of the wires just fell out (before you ask, no, I'm not dumb enough to pull on the wires).

Took the RAM back and bought a new PSU, problem never occurred again. My assumption is as the drive was used, minor vibrations were causing the loose wire to short and the machine would reboot.

I can add AC voltage variations, especially if you're in rural area

if that were the case, wouldn't this problem have come up before when I used the same machine as my daily driver? I've never had issues with random restarts prior to this. Or is OMV just more sensitive to these types of things than Windows?
