My server doesn't stay running for longer than 45 minutes. Been like this for a while now

I thought the issue was being caused by multiple hard drives on my PC, so I went out and got a 6TB, moved all my content over to that, and reinstalled PLEX Media Server. The problem still persists, where the server just stops running after about 45 minutes.

I’m ready to give up.

My server logs are included.

Even if the PC is being used? Or is it when you leave your PC idle for 45 minutes?

Both.

When I get home, the little icon in my system tray disappears when I mouse over it. And shows will freeze when the server goes down, and will usually un-pause fairly quickly after I re-open plex media server.

Also, 45 minutes is just an estimate. Sometimes it’s sooner, sometimes it’s longer.

Have you tried messing with any of your windows Power settings?

If not, try this: Go to Windows Settings>System>Power & Sleep on the left panel, and set both to “Never”. Then go to ‘Additional Power Settings’ on the right and set it to High Performance. See if that corrects the problem

I have. This is what was suggested last time I posted.

My PC is not set to go to sleep at all. It’s just set to turn off the monitor.

This happens while the computer is in use. Currently the server is running, but I’ll update this post when it crashes next. I’m not going anywhere.

What else have you tried so we’re not going over things twice? I’m assuming you’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the server and set it all up again fresh and it’s still happening? Anything else?

Not really. It’s just a basic install of Plex and Windows 10.

I’ve never installed any other media servers. Nor do I have any other background software running apart from uTorrent, Steam and OneDrive.
