    Hi livefastdrvslo,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    The current firmware of your GS724Tv3 switch is the initial release firmware.  I suggest you to upgrade the firmware in a ladderized manner.  First, upgrade the firmware from v4.1.0.9 to v4.2.0.11.  Then, upgrade the firmware from v4.2.0.11 to 4.2.1.5 and so on until you reach the latest firmware version which is 5.4.2.30. 

     

    Be sure to perform a factory reset after upgrading the firmware to the latest version then reconfigure the settings from scratch in order to start clean using the latest firmware version.  Then check if the same problem occurs.

     

    You can download the firmware versions for the GS724Tv3 switch here.
