My Proxmox server keeps crashing randomly. At work we have similar servers with each running Proxmox VE. It runs perfect on the other 4 but somehow it doesnt on this one. I dont know how to describe this problem since there is no indication of anything being wrong.

Heres my journalctl, according to PRTG ,our monitoring system, the crash must have occured somewhere around 00:00 till 00:07

Hi,

Did you try to do memory tests? you can use Memtest86+ tool.
Im gonna try it today, i had 4 RAMs with 32GB each installed. Proxmox only showed me 96GB instead of 128. I switched to 2 Rams with a total of 64GB, and it is shown correctly in proxmox. The first few days the crashes stopped but since Monday the crashes started to appear again. Maybe SSD?
