Recently my Readynas Ultra 6 Plus keeps rebooting randomly every 20min-1hour
So since last week my Readynas Ultra 6 Plus, keeps rebooting every 20min-1hour
I hae searched the forums and found another topic about this, however it is closed and i couldn't respond in it, so there were a few tips or things to do, which i did:
I have cleaned the inside, so there is no heat build up due to dust.
I increased my fans to cooler - my fans are running between these speeds
CPU: 1700-1900
system: 840-860
since i bought the device in 2009, the first thing i did was replace the memory to increase it, never had issues with the memory. I have:
MemTotal: 4039328 kB
I disabled rsync and antivirus.
I wanted to do a disk test, but because my readynas is always resyncing due to the reboots and reboots again while it is busy doing the resync, so i am unable to perform a disk test
In the logs I only see the resync info and that my storage capacity is below 20% (still have 2.5Tb free)
However there are no errors in the logs.
any suggestions ?

And there is nothing in the log showing the power off, just a new power on?
A marginal power supply might cause that, especially the +5VSB (+5V Standby), which powers the on/off circuit. That's a common issue with the older NAS models -- the power supply just doesn't last forever. But, it is replaceable with a standard SFX format PSU, though you need a 24-pin extender cable and may need one or more SATA to Molex power adapters or Molex Y cables. If you have a "spare" ATX12V supply, it can be connected externally to see if that fixes the problem before you invest in a replacement (though they aren't that expensive).
While the standard PSU is only 300W, I recommend at least a 350W replacement because the original has more 12V current capacity than a typical 300W. I've used a lot of different versions, since many have come and gone from the market, and usually go with a 400W.
If you want the easiest/cleanest replacement, there is a vendor on eBay that has some that already have the needed cabling.
- Hey, thx for the reply.
I am going to run a mem test tonight, just to make sure there is no memory fault.
If not I will buy a replacement for the CPU.
I looked for 24pin SFX supplies and these are 2 possible candidates to buy.
If they are good...

https://www.alternate.be/Thermaltake/Toughpower-SFX-550W-Gold-voeding/html/product/1718547#product-details-tab So, i was running a Memory test, which was already running for 5+ hours......
no single fault found and because it has been up for 5+ hours i guess the PSU is also ok....
i noticed there was a lot of network traffick to google api
I have gdrive sync enabled, so i have now disabled it
waiting for results
I also got a weird error message on the screen, which do not appear in the loggingI think the error code is related to email alerts. Are you using gmail for that? If so, have you switched to using an app-specific password?
On the main issue, I am thinking a factory default is worth a try. This will destroy all your data, so you'll need to make a full backup first.
If you have a spare disk, you could try powering down, and removing all disks (labeling by slot). Then do a fresh install on the spare, and see if that behaves the same way.
Note if this is power-related, passing this test might not prove anything, as a single disk will obviously not load the PSU nearly as much as the full array. But if it fails, you will rule out the disks and software.
