23.7 Legacy Series / Random crashes on DEC2750 after upgrade to 23.10.3 Business Edition (solved)
« on: May 05, 2024, 02:06:05 pm »
I wanted to post a message in the forum in case anyone else has this issue. I have resolved the problem after a weekend of trial and error. These forums were very helpful in the troubleshooting process!
I have a DEC2750 purchased in April 2023 running -24 bios version. I was running 23.10.2 Business Edition for many months and then last weekend decided to upgrade to 23.10.3. After upgrading the system would crash randomly every several hours. I searched the logs and there were no corresponding error messages, just reboot messages all of a sudden. I first tried to disable Unbound because there are several threads about that causing random reboots, but that did not fix the issue.
I eventually decided to update to -28 Bios version as a last resort. During the bios install, the updater got stuck at 98%. I let the system sit for an hour, hoping it would get to 100% - but it never did. I was worried I had bricked my DEC2750, but upon reboot it appeared everything was fine and it was running the new -28 bios version.
After updating the bios, the random reboots stopped. I re-enabled Unbound and it has been very stable ever since. If your having random issues with DEC hardware, see if there is a bios update!
