Four days ago my PVE was unresponsive. Noticed because my immich container in my virtualized TrueNas was not responding.

I was unable to connect to the GUI and SSH was the same. I figured some power issue but my seconday pve and synology were fine. I did a hard boot and thins were good until the next day, and the same thing happened. I didn't want to risk data loss so I did a hard boot and this time after a little looking around I turned it off an left it off. I had not time to work on it but I figured I try again and turned it on last night and today I can't access the GUI, no SSH and mouse and keyboard and monitor just show a the text after it boots up and I can't do anything. The lights on the keyboard do not even work and the machine is on.

This is my root partition showing that I have space. And some errors which during my research have not produced solutions. Could this actually be hardware?

Thank you for
Hi,
please note that Proxmox VE 8.3 is outdated! It did not get any (security) updates since Proxmox VE 8.4 was released a year ago:
https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Package_Repositories#_proxmox_ve_8_repositories
https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/chapter-sysadmin.html#system_software_updates

Please share the full system journal from around the time of the issue (from the last known time it was working before the issue until the restart after the issue).
Thank you for your reply. I think I will see if upgrading fixes the problem but before I do that:
