Yesterday one cruncher got stuck in a reboot loop, it managed to progress just before the desktop and then reboots...
Today a second one did the same...
😕
The reason: I got a new modem router for IPTV and it has a more powerful wifi antenna, the old thomson wlan software I had installed caused these reboots because it couldn't connect to the new fritzbox...
I used this 3rd party software because the windows config dialog wouldn't reconnect when the signal quality is very poor (my house has very thick walls).
I hope this can help others diagnose a potential problem, I never thought a software could cause this, I was almost sure that my cruncher had a broken harddrive until the second one started...
