"Hey guys, I'm reaching my breaking point here. My home server (Raspberry Pi 4, Ubuntu 20.04) keeps crashing hard every hour, taking down all my miners and rendering my GPU unusable. I've tried checking the logs, but everything looks normal to me - anyone have any ideas where I should start troubleshooting?"

"Dude, first off, have you checked your CPU and RAM usage? I'd also suggest verifying that your cooling system is working properly, 'cause overheating can cause some wild crashes. You may wanna also look at your logs for any repeated errors."

"Dude, have you checked your RAM usage? I had a similar issue last month and found out it was due to a resource-intensive background process. Try running a memory usage report to see if it gives you any leads."

"Hey OP, same thing happened to me with my rig a few months back. I was getting constant crashes due to a faulty RAM stick, might wanna check that out first. Also, what's your CPU temp looking like, high temps can cause crashes too."

"Hey OP, been there done that. I'd start by checking the RAM usage and CPU temp, see if you've got any processes running in the background hogging resources. Also, make sure your server's BIOS and drivers are up to date, that usually resolves the issue for me"

Yooo, sorry to hear that dude. Can you give us a little more info on your setup, like what kind of hardware and software you're using, and have you made any recent changes to your server before the crashes started?

"Hey, OP, I had similar issues with my mining rig a while back. Try checking for overheating - make sure your CPU and GPU temps aren't sky-high. Also, could you tell me if this is happening at a specific time every hour or more random?"

"Hey OP, what's your server setup like? Are you running any resource-heavy scripts or mods that could be causing the crash? Also, what's your CPU and RAM usage looking like when the crashes occur?"

"Hey OP, try checking your CPU usage - it's probably maxing out when the server crashes. I've seen this happen with heavy resource-intensive miners and RAM-hungry plugins. Does your server use any resource-intensive add-ons or mods?"
