Virtual computer keeps shutting down

Post by Ankawi »

Not sure what is causing it at all, but it seems to just be shutting down randomly. This has happened twice. Not even sure if a ddos attack can do that.

A DDoS attack would not normally cause a VDS to shut down. It would be much more likely to be an OOM condition or OS bug. Have you examined the system log?

I've checked the logs, it apparently bluescreens or something. Not sure how to fix it. Pretty sure it's a ddos attack. I'm just wondering if there's a way I can disable it.

What do the logs say though?

When did this start occurring and were any recent changes made to the VDS? Also, is there a pattern to when it crashes?

Started occurring about 2 days ago, and there were no changes to the VDS. The VDS simply shuts down then restarts back up.

When is the last time this occurred, and what OS are you running?
