It could be caused by an add-on crashing for example, but that error is very generic so there are a range of possibilities.

You likely need support via my.netgear.com.
If you purchased your NAS (new) between 1 June 2014 and 31 May 2016, then you have lifetime free chat support.

You could try forcibly powering down the NAS, and then restart it. Likely that will work, but the problem might recur.
