well a update again.

its still premature but today the first night the system did not crash.

when tomorrow its stil working i am going to install software back onto it to see what software is causing this problem.
and then i hoop its not fitpc2 related ;-) and i have a nice 24/7 server that i can rely on.

ok this is strange

the drive is connected for a while and now i get a message that files written to drive E ( the external drive ) are lost because of a hardware failure
i can also no longer acces the drive.

edit
when i want to disconned the drive using the save hardware removable icon on the right bar of the screen then nothing happens and the drive letter stay's acttive.

edit 2
i powered down the fitpc2 and then powered it up again
my usbn is no longer showing.
reconnecting the usb is not working
i needed to disconnect the power of the usb drive to get it working again.

i dont have these problems when this drive is connected to other pc and i have this usb case for years now already running 24/7 without problems.

bios setting already set to only... should i disable it al togheter?

When fit-PC2 is turned off USB is still powered. Maybe the disk USB controller some-how entered an unknown state where only power cycling of the disk resets it back to normal.

can it maybe have something to do with large file transfers?

There is no known issue with file transfers when C-states are disabled (GV3 only in BIOS) as in your case.
