I am attaching a conversation between me and SYS 'support'. In summary: it seems that thay want me to pay for my own diagnosing their faulty hardware. Mind the delays in contact from 'support'.
EDIT 01/03/2017 - The issue was resolved, I got a working replacement and was refunded for a month I could not use the server.
Me - 26/01/2017 07:32
Hi, it seems that my server is being forcefully reset by OVH without any apparent reason. Could you please check your logs to tell me what is going on?
Support - 26/01/2017 13:17
Dear Customer,
What do you mean by force reset?
On our side I am unable to locate any force reset.
can you provide me with more information?
Kind Regards,
Danny

OK - if you exclude any restarts forced by OVH, the situation is even worse.
My server restarts in random intervals, usually just after boot. Sometimes I'm able to log in after boot, but usually for very short time, and later it reboots again.
It's a pretty standard build based on Xenial, which i run successfully on other OVH machines, OVH and kimsufi, without any issues.
This server is the only one which behaves unpredictable, I would tend to think that there's something wrong with hardware. Why hardware? Because it is completely random, intervals between reboots are random.
What can we do in this situation? Are you able to deliver a replacement server? if I were you, I would boot this server with memtest86 for few cycles, as usually such random reboots are result from misbehaving RAM.
In summary: it's impossible to use current hardware and we must sort it out.
Support - 27/01/2017 08:41
Dear Customer,
Yes a hardware issue is the logical explaination for the issue.
You can boot the server into the rescue environment to test the hardware.
Manager >> Net boot >> rescue64-pro.
This will allow you to get the logs.
If the hardware is defective, we will look to replace it.
Kind Regards,
Danny

Hi, yeah, I know how to use rescue cd, but there is nothing in logs, as server resets itself momentary. From my experience it's usually a result of bad RAM.
I do not clearly understand how could I test the RAM by myself from rescue64, as memtest86 does not allow to have networking running. Memtest86 usually requires a clean boot from BIOS, with KVM for example, which is not available at my server.
Could you please change the hardware, then, possibly keeping the disk drives?
Thanks,
Me - 27/01/2017 23:30
To be clear: the server is in rescue mode, waiting for your intervention with hardware.
Me - 29/01/2017 21:26
I do not clearly understand. You promise SLA 99.9%.
The facts are: you have delivered a server, which restarts itself under normal working schedule, with probably a faulty RAM.
You are responding to my support requests with at least 12h delays.
And currently the delay from our last conversation is longer than 48 hours.
It is SLA = 0%.
I hope you finally deliver a working server on Monday and fully refund me from the beginning from server delivery I spent on diagnosing RAM faults I have experienced, without having proper tools for doing that ie. no KVM access.
Let's have a new beginning. I hope this time the server will run smoothly
Support - 30/01/2017 09:33
Dear Customer,
The issue maybe due to the RAM.
The rescue mode allows a RAM test. Currently the RAM test is progress.
I also checked the drives and they appear to be healthy.
If the RAM is faulty, we can look to replace the RAM itself.
Kind Regards,
Danny

OK, could you please tell me what are results of the RAM test, please? Drives were OK, no problems with them.

Yeah, I have repeated this test and it has not detected any errors as well. But the server still restarts itself, so because of nature of that particular test, there is a chance that test does not test all memory. The thing is that I am not able to see anything in logs, as the server restarts momentary. My last idea is that you connect KVM on your cost to allow me to understand the reasons. As I said previously, I have the same linux build on at least 5 other OVH machines and they work properly without any single issue.
Me - 02/02/2017 06:37
The other option is if you are able to provide a replacement machine, I can install the server from scratch.
Support - 02/02/2017 08:54
Dear Customer,
On the same sever this is the current time:
10:52:14 up 1 day, 17:31,
The server is been online without any restarts for 24 hours.
We can look to leave the sever in this rescue mode for another 24 hours to see
if it reboots, currently I am still unable to locate the issue. If I am still
unable to resolve the issue I will forward the ticket to a higher level team
for further checks.
Kind Regards,
Danny

the thing is that in rescue mode the server works properly, but the kernel you provide is old and load is artificial.
Previously it rebooted itself at the beginning after installation of my system, and later it was working properly for few days without load, when i did not use it.
But when I started to use the server, it means heavy RAM operations, it started to reboot again, and now it reboots after reaching init level 3 momentary without leaving any traces in the logs.

Dear Customer,
For your server you can change the kernel to the OS one if you wish.
By default we load the OVH kernel.
As for the server hardware, whilst we don't see any issues I can replace the
RAM as a preventive measure.
Kind Regards,
Danny

Hi, please replace RAM or provide a new machine. Using OVH kernel is not possible in my case.
BTW, I have rented OVH Cloud Instance just few days ago and the same setup works fine, so this SoYouStart server is the only one from dozens of machines which are not working properly. I'm not able to use it because of constant restarts.

Dear Customer,
When is a good for us to replace the RAM?
For the kernel you can just use the stock kernel from the OS.
Kind Regards,
Danny

Hi, after you changed RAM, the server is working properly. Thanks.
But I was not able to use it before, as it was broken, could you please extend rental period for one month?
Support - 17/02/2017 14:30
Dear Customer,
The logs which I have provided previously shows the RAM on the server as
healthy.
The test is an industry standard test where by the RAM is tested on all
aspects.
I did the RAM replacement as an exception. I'm not sure what the extended
rental period is for.
Kind Regards,
Danny

on 17th of January you provided me a broken server. I spent dozens of hours to diaganose the reason why it reboots itself and later contacted you for support. The RAM tests you made were insufficient to diagnose the fault, as they are incomplete - do not diagnose full RAM. After three weeks of conversations you finally fixed the hardware and delivered a working server. I do not plan to pay 30 pound for testing your hardware, it is definitey you who is going to pay for it.
