Plex Media Server v1.27.0.5897-3940636f2 - Microsoft PC x64 - build: windows-x86 windows (updated today, though same issue has persisted for weeks) Windows 7, i7-4770 3.40GHz, 16GB ram, 1x attached USB drive, 2x attached NAS drives System has been running fine for years. Drive was cloned from a physical disk to an SSD about 3 or 4 months ago. For the past 2 or 3 weeks, Plex has been crashing at random, sometimes up to 5 or 6 times a day. Other times it may go by for a whole day without a crash. UptimeRobot & Tautulli will alert me, or I’ll discover it myself when trying to open PlexAmp or a Plex app. I’ll have to RDP in, & re-run the Plex executable. At times, it will immediately crash again within minutes, other times hours later. All the logs I read (attached) seemingly just end with "[JobRunner] Job running: “C:\Program Files (x86)\Plex\Plex Media Server\CrashUploader.exe” But nothing clear (to me at least) as to why, or what caused it.. A few days ago I began switching off Plex’s scheduled tasks, whitelisting whole files & folders for Sophos Security & simply killing local apps & processes in an attempt to resolve or to see what the outcome may be. Though nothing has changed. Im new to reading & understanding Plex’s logs. Any help or guidance [Plex Media Server Logs\_2022-06-15\_16-38-21.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/gu4bHUgCs0O0y8lmnTPuvwXliM0.zip) (2.8 MB) would be very much appreciated. ---
