    What does your error log say?

    That's probably your first step.

    It sounds like you have no clue what you are doing, the 'is someone hacking me' is usually the thought process for someone that does not know what they are doing.

    The end is nigh.

    Really, why did you even pick a dedi to begin with.

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    Overloaded servers don't necessarily crash.
    Without a log, though, we can't help you.

    Clean up the system and check it for errors:

    FORMAT C:
SYS A: C:
CHKDSK C: /R

    You need a MS-DOS floppy disk to run these commands.
    It works well in our computer lab.

    He asked because you might need to hire a sys admin.

    what kind of magic he will do if ovh saying the fault is hardware one?

  • NeoonNeoon Community Contributor, Veteran

    The system should detect these crashes.
    I had these issues on a KS1, they replaced the motherboard in 60 minutes total.

    Thanked by 1weir1

    1. Check the error log.
    2. Analyze the log.
    3. Solution.

    If it's a hardware issue, OVH will solve dat. If it's software, it's down to you or someone you hire.

    I would definitely hire him or someone if the problem is from the software side..but this looks like ovh issue as other member also confirm the same

  • deankdeank Member, Troll

    Who knows.

    Regardless, you will run into issues sooner or later. A dedicated server requires maintenance which I doubt you know how.

    I am very new to Linux and still learning

    If you don't know the meaning of logs then maybe the unmanaged server is not for you.

    Kindly please provide us the full log so someone can help.

    Also do you use OVH kernel when you installed the os?

    Edited: if you need urgent help from OVH then try to call them otherwise you have to wait for days.

    Not true at all. Everything is learnable. What does it matter if he googles it or asks here where people are heads into the stuff?

    As I see it he asked pretty politely of someone could give him the command but surely all he got was snarky ass comments back.

    Well if it's not for production use then it's fine.

    You are right. Anyone can learn at any stage. It's not a crime.

    That's why I Asked him to provide logs.
