Why do SSH and GUI access stop working after a few days?

I'm new to Proxmox and recently set it up on my homelab. Everything works fine but SSH and GUI access stop working after a few days. Rebooting the computer fixes it but after a few days, SSH and gui access (https://192.168.1.5:8006/) does not work again. Can someone guide me on what configurations I should check and update?
thanks much in advance!
 
Check the screen of the machine. Does it still react there? If not, it crashed hard. Could be the memory, or the CPU (just had a few threads with probably bad Intel desktop CPUs).
If the host still reacts directly on the screen, log in to the CLI and check the status of the services:

Code:
systemctl status sshd
systemctl status pveproxy
systemctl status pvedaemon

Maybe the logs also offer more insights: journalctl -b -p warning to see the logs since the last boot and only logs of level warning or more severe.
 
okay thanks for that. all those services were active and running fine. but i saw multiple warnings from the out of this command:
Bash:
journalctl -b -p warning
kernel: pci 0000:00:01.3: disabling item 0x00000000-0xcfffffff because it overlaps 0000:00:02.0 BAR 9
kernel: eisa 0000:00:1e.0: Cannot allocate resource for EISA slot 1
kernel: pcieport 0000:00:1d.0: can't derive routing for PCI INT A
kernel: EXT4-fs (sda2): mounting ext2 file system using the ext4 subsystem
kernel: EXT4-fs (sda2): Unrecognized mount option "errors=remount-ro"
systemd-timedatectl: time synchronization failed

I managed to resolve those issues and rebooted. I will update here how it goes. Thanks for the fast reply.
