Issue Description: I have been having this issue with my raspberry pi running dietPi where it seems to lock up and I cannot SSH / access any of the services on it. The interesting part is that the interface seems to be up and I can still ping it on the local network but shows no video output. usually I get about 3-6 days before the issue appears again.
I am not really sure where to start to diagnose this issue. Any help would be appreciated!
Things Tried:
Reduced operating temp by getting a fan. I want to say this improved the length in between this issue appearing but don’t really have any hard evidence.
uninstalled unused services
Limited active torrents in QbitTorrent
EDIT: Small thing to mention is that the CPU load is usually really high - like not uncommon for the load to be between 8-10 but I have seen it as high as 24.
Temporary fix:
Power cycle - everything comes up again in less than a minute.
Raspberry Pi 3B v2
OS: DietPi
Services:
Lidarr
Radarr
Sonarr
Prowlarr
Qbittorrent
Mullvad VPN - WireGaurd

This is likely an issue with your SD card…Pi’s eat them up, even the good ones that supposedly can handle it get chewed up pretty quickly. It really sucks that they haven’t transitioned to emmc but insist on using SD cards.
Yeah seems like a weird choice to have a default storage type that is known in the community to be unreliable.
Yeah, I had the same issue. Sometimes it was the SD card, sometimes the network interface (not your case obviously), sometimes things connected to USB, sometimes it was running hot… I gave up and now I just run everything on an older Slimbook Zero. Yes, power consumption is higher (still pretty low) but so is stability.
Yeah it seems a lot of people are saying the SD card is the issue which wouldn’t surprise me. I do have some spare space on my proxmox server but it would just be a huge pain in the dick to move everything… But it’s looking like I may need to sadly.
Not sure if the rpi3 can use the 64bit version, or if it’s possible for it use an SSD like the the 4 can?
Pi 3b+ can you just need to enable it, look it up. Tried and tested.
@AverageGoob I have this issue with one of my hosts as well. It appears to be a problem with the micro SD card. Same card, different pi = same problem. I’m currently working around it with a watchdog but will need to replace the card soon.
Are you running your OS from USB or from a micro SD card?
