Proxmox is constatly rebooting when not connected to screen

[tofrie_03]

Hey,

im new to Proxmox and the community. I just installed my first Proxmox Server and have some problems. I noticed some random reboots of my server and I did not know why.
Now I kind of found the problem, but still no solution. The server is just doing random reboots if the device is not connected to a screen, if it is it is perfectly running without a reboot.
Im running Proxmox on a HP ProDesk 600 G4 Mini ThinClient with the following specs:
Intel i5-8500T
16GB DDR4-RAM
256GB M.2 SSD (Toshiba)

Would really appreciate it if someone got a tip for me

Regards Tom

I've been dealing with an issue with the HP Elitedesk systems for a few weeks now. I ordered 2 identical (but from different sellers) HP elitedesk 800G4's from ebay. The first on I received, i was able to load Proxmox from the official bare metal installer and everything has worked fine. No random reboots, no noticeable issues. I did add a nvme drive for ZFS local storage and I installed new RAM (32GB).

The second unit arrived, I loaded up proxmox the same way, installed an additional nvme drive for ZFS local storage and added the new 32GB of RAM. I created a cluster from node 1...

Tanks for that tip, but I think I solved it.
I don't know the exact technical reason why it worked, but renaming the file "kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin" in /lib/firmware/i915 to "xxx.disabled" worked for me.
I got this solution from this post:

Hmmm facing the same issue on my Nuc I8...
I've had a monitor connected it over a few weeks. Mostly with the monitor off.
This was to monitor the logs why my Proxmox server crashed because the journal files didn't say much about the crash.

Hope you guys find a good fix for this

Did you try renaming or deleting /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_04.bin? That has resolved my issue, been running stable now for a few weeks.
