Anyone else having DAILY trouble (always late afternoon here) with the forum crashing, not reloading, then not opening all together? Seems to freeze up for 2-3 hours then start working again. Bandwidth, power, malware problems?

Mods feel free to post or PM if its any of the above, I may have some guys that can help out.

 

I was just going to post teh same:

 

Sorry that was me trying to upload my 10gb image

 

yeah it been all messed up for the past 2 days

 

About 7 days ago we had someone come into the cabinet, and kick over our servers. They appeared to have decabled the cabinet and recabled it up loading up the 20A circuit to 19A. As many of may or may not know this is way past the 80% rule. There should be a max of 16A of power on this circuit.

We took 2/3 power hits in a row on the DB which caused massive problems on all 3 servers. The main one that took the dmg was g35driver as the db went into fits. We are still having problem as now certain query plans are no longer efficient. The database spins out of control and context switching goes up through the roof.

We have purchased a new server and lookign for a new provider, so please be patient we are doing everything we can at the moment and noone is more frustrated with this than I am. Tonight was a bit different, which again someone appears to be toying around in the cabinet.

This is from the logs, basically either the switch was flipping out or someone was tugging cables in the rack again.

Ouch, definitely not fun. Where are the servers located? If you are interested in a colo let me know, I used to do a lot of business with Planet in TX.
