We've had a small ubuntu 20 server VM running on one of our nodes without issue for the past 1.5 years, and very recently has been crashing the entire node after just a few minutes of booting up.
VM config:
The recent change that seems to coincide with this is that we upgraded the node from 7.4.x to 8.2.2. Since it is a VM I'm not sure how the upgrade would affect it though.
What I also noticed was that as the node became completely unresponsive, it was showing a load of 100+ on the CPU, despite CPU usage at < 30% in `htop`
I have tried restoring the VM backup file to a completely different node also running on 8.2.2 and it appears to run fine and not harm the node at all.
The only noteworthy difference between the nodes is that the original one is an AMD 3900x processor, and the second one is an Intel 8600K.
The AMD is in a production environment which is creating a lot of stress every time I try to boot the VM up.
