Hi everyone
My proxmox server is crashing daily. And I've been checking the logs. But the thing is. What do I look for? Syslog, kern and daemonlogs. I would like to fix this problem. Need advice ! Thanks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm -to be honest- quite the noob. What is obvious?
Anything looking like this: http://i.stack.imgur.com/RMcUY.jpg
Anything saying "error" or "fatal" in the kernel log.
It's quite likely that you will not find anything because the machine reboots before it can write to disk. In that case, I'd start with memtest86.
Protip: view the logs in vim, it highlights errors in red.
Alright. That is what i see on my screen.
