Server Version#: 1.27.2.5929  
Player Version#: Not relevant.

Plex server has been crashing multiple times a day, unable to figure out the cause.

Sometimes it will last a few hours, other times its a few minutes.

Logs before two of the crashes:

Not entirely sure what ViewStateSync is or what its responsible for but appears to be related to the crash.

Have tried running the PMS installer to repair the install with no effect.
