      Hi all,

      I am running a pfSense on an old Fujitsu ThinClient with an AMD GX-415GA SOC, 4GB RAM, the onboard Realtak 1Gbit/s NIC for WAN and an additional 2Port Intel NIC for LAN. It has been running fine for 3 years, with continious updates etc.
      Last weekend the system was showing some problems, no DHCP adresses were assigned anymore and DNS was also not working. A reboot attempt was unsuccesfull and the system was not booting anymore. After a short check I diagnosed that the OS disk has been broken down.
      For a quick solution I plugged in an USB NVMe I had laying arround and reinstalled pfSense 2.7.2, loaded my backup config and directly updated to 2.8.0. Worked fine for half a day than sudden crashes started to occur. The system suddenly crashes, than DHCP, SSH and WebUI is not longer working. Rebooting solves this issue.
      I have not been able to figure out the problem so after some issues I decided to go back to 2.7.2 as it was working stable for month. Did this yesterday and still the system crashed last night with the same issues.

      I now have no ideas what to check. Do you haver any clue what the issue could be. Is a USB NVMe a problem?

      Thank you and best

      Florian
