Hi so I have a home server PC and during the summer it seemed to work just fine but going into the winter when it’s a little colder it’s keeps crashing every other day. My PC in kept on the attic because it super nosey and I control it using remote in with Parsec. The temps are around 7-14c in my country so not super cold and with the PC running 24/7 in theory this shouldn’t be an issue?
 

When it crashes I have to go into the attic and physically restart it which is super annoying and sometimes I find out hours later which is a problem because my CCTV cameras run off this PC so stable is essential. 

 

I have a 10700 with a B460 Asrock board, Rtx 4060.

 

Any idea how to go about trouble shooting this issue as it’s really annoying?

If stability is important, there's 2 things you'd need to banish outright:

1) an unbalanced (and/or OC'ed) gaming PC

2) Win-OS (any version)

 

Do the following:

a) repaste the CPU

b) remove the GPU

c) if b) not applicable, get a better PSU

d) install TrueNAS, ProxMox or UnRAID, alternatively Linux Mint, Ubuntu or Debian (all in random order)

e) consider a UPS if local power is intermittent

 

HTH!

Hi going a little more in detail, CPU temps don’t generally go above 71c, I have also tried running the system without the GPU and the same issue happens. The PSU is a 550w sfx and it runs off a UPS.

 

Going a little more into details, when the system crashes, it will still be running with the fans still running etc but will just not display an output. I’m not sure if this helps clear it’s not a power issue. 

 

I’m not really to sure what could cause it and I don’t believe I can run those softwares as the software I need to run is windows only.
