Any idea what the problem was?
So disks are not removable?
Nope. After describing my woes, he said the best option would likely be to migrate to a new system. My best guess is he didnāt want to pay for remote hands to try and diagnose it, which I canāt blame him since it could possibly take awhile to track down the cause.
Not sure, I didnāt ask

IPMI on your blade should show PSU status, if you still have access :-).

Itās either a bad CPU or motherboard. Weāve seen this before with Xeon E3 1270 v3s.

Bad CPU clocking down?
Unplug the server power cords and then plug them back in after 1-2 minutes and see if it resolves also check for bios updates, many funky issues are resolved via bios updates
you can even try a kernel update

Itās a blade in a HP microcloud chassis, so fiddling with the PSUs isnāt an option without disrupting the other blades. And it didnāt sound like any other blades were affected, so probably mainboard or CPU issue.
Due to the extremely low cost of these dedis, it made sense to just move me to a working node rather than my provider paying for remote hands to diagnose what may be going on. Anyways Iām on a fresh machine now and surprisingly got SSDs instead of spinning rust, so Iām happy. Took a day or two to get things back on track, but itās been smooth sailing ever since

Yep, same sizes ā 4x 250GB. They have the config on their site for +$5/mo than Iām paying, so it worked out in my favor
