Spontaneous reboots
Posted: Wed Jun 23, 2021 7:50 am
Hi,
in the last few weeks I've experienced several spontaneous reboots on my GhostBSD installation. I have not changed anything system-config-wise, other than upgrading to 13 a while back (soon after it was released) and followed the usual upgrades since.
Does GhostBSD automatically reboot when hitting a catastrophic error (kernel panic, etc.)? Or is this actually the hardware doing the rebooting? I have not been looking directly at the screen while it happened, but just now I saw from the corner of my eye that the screen went dark and a second later I saw the boot loader, so I knew it had happened again.
Note that this happens without any load; while the fans are relatively quiet on this box I would have heard them spin up if that was the case.
The hardware in question is a Zotac EN72070V:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-ZBOX-EN7 ... B07WK1L4SS (since zotac.com is down right now)
Key info:
9th Gen Intel Core processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB GDDR6.
I'm using the "official" nvidia driver as shipped with GhostBSD.
Anyone have any idea what I should be looking for?
