[SOLVED] PVE host keeps crashing randomly

[arnay]

I have a server I recycled from a Lenovo with an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 and 16GiBs of RAM. Randomly, it crashes. I tried looking at the logs and it said a node has >8 VCPUs which I confirmed is false(I think that's from earlier when trying to create a VM)

I speculate that it's overheating but I have no way of checking. So far it has happened 2 times.

New info: Usually happens when I launch qBittorrent

Yeah I think the issue is qBittorrent

Sounds like a hardware instability that is triggered by much network traffic. Maybe try a different network card? Or maybe it's too much heat or a power drop (by and old PSU) under load?

When I launch QB, CPU usage spikes, and I realize that my DE, GNOME is the problem. It's trying to show QB but can't. I checked in htop. I quit QB so it doesn't try to show it and CPU usage lowered. I can still access QB via the web interface so I will close the thread.
