Repeated Resets then won't boot until USB stick moved to another port

[neildeadman]

I've been using Xpenology with DSM 7.0.1 running on a Asus Z87/Deluxe motherboard with an Intel i7-4770 CPU. Its been fine, mostly, but I seem to get random reboots. It mostly seems to happen overnight when I am not near the device or using it. Which logs should I be looking in to figure out what is up?

 

Also, after a few of these reboots, it refuses to boot. It POSTs and then stops at the Asus logo and won't continue past that point. If I move the USB to another port, it boots. I am basically switching it between each port in a cycle. What could cause this, is it hardware related?

 

Are the 2 issues related?

Missed final Q off

I've swapped USB stick. Not sure if that is why, but lets give it a try!

The new USB booted to the wizard. Wasn't sure how to proceed without losing any data, so I powered off.

 

Inserted the old USB and it booted further than it was and showed a "Overclocking" warning (I'm not overclocking) and so I enabled XMP and it booted into Xpenology ok.

 

Let's see how this goes....
