Routerboard rebooting every 6 minutes

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

I have a router board that is rebooting itself every 6 minutes, it does it like clock work. I setup a netwatch script on another MT device and the log shows every ~6min it loses connection and reboots itself.

Routerboard Specs:

Routerboard 220
64MB RAM
233mhz processor
Router OS V.2.8.21
Routeboard BIOS V.1.3.1

Anyone know why this is happening? I may try upgrading the BIOS firmware to the newest version (1.3.3) to see if that corrects the problem.

Here’s the Log from my MT that’s monitoring the routerboard:

check if you have any scripts or maybe watchdog enabled.

I think that was it, one of the other admins added a nice little entry in there to monitor an address and reboot on failure every 5minutes..

Yup that was it, thanks for the suggestion!
