the server will be down this afternoon for about 45 min to 1 hour starting at about 6pm EST
The last few weeks I have been having server stability issues and kept seeing disk read errors in the logs I initially thought it was a failing hard drive which I then sourced to a faulty SATA cable but that wasn’t the only issue. Fortunately the hard drive is in good health and was working properly when I tested in my desktop but I still kept getting disk read errors I finally sourced it to the drives not getting enough current to run properly when I went to confirm this theory by checking the PSU voltage in the BIOS it was fluctuating between 4.8V and 5.01V so yeh the power supply is on its last leg. once I discovered that I removed all non essential components from the PSU and disabled 2 of the CPU cores which has kept the system running for the last 4 days I have ordered a new one which came in today and will be replaced tonight.
UPDATE:
server has its new PSU and has happy voltages across the board and is much quieter than it was before
UPDATE 2:
I just realized i forgot to publish this last night DERP
