> [@jimmcgee](#): > > I’ve gotten no response on the forum from anyone at Plex I can’t see any logs zip file uploaded anywhere in the numerous posts on this. Could you point me to where you attached a zip of the Plex Media [Server logs](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) collected after a crash. Also look for dmp file within the Crash Reports folders for the version crashing and zip and upload somewhere and send me link privately ---

> [@jimmcgee](#): > > I was referring to my posts in this thread Yes that is the thread i was referring to as having no logs zip attached. Could you provide a logs zip and not just the failure to upload a dump extract log lines and also locate the dmp files and zip and upload somewhere and send me link privately for where the dmps are as they contain security tokens and should not be linked to in public forum. I need a matching set - dmp with the logs covering time of crash and with [debug logging](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201643703-reporting-issues-with-plex-media-server/#toc-1) not disabled. ---

My Plex server just started crashing last night. When I restart the PMS it works for about 30 min and then crashes again. [Plex Media Server.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/j7X20RRk0dJ27TMxZEUxAXEh9SX.zip) (905.3 KB) ---

> [@jimmcgee](#): > > Can you give me the names of the files and where they’re located? You know already where the logs are as you have pasted the contents of one of the log files. the crash dmp files would be in a directory within the “Crash Reports” directory - one for the version that is crashing and below a subfolder named “PLEX MEDIA SERVER” The “Crash Reports” directory sits along side the “Logs” directory which you have already found ---
