I've got a Raspberry Pi 1 Model B that has been my trusty workhorse for a few years. It normally chugs away happily running transmission, pi-hole and a node.js app simultaneously.

All of a sudden it's started to become unresponsive under load. I can no longer SSH into it, but I can still ping it during this time. I can't access the transmission or pi-hole web clients when this happens either.

The only thing I can think of is that I've moved abroad and I'm now on a 120v circuit, but the power unit does say it's capable of running on 120-240v. It's a 5V 2A unit which has never caused me any problems in the UK.

What are some steps I could take to try and diagnose the problem?

One option is to use a monitoring tool, i.e. Munin:

Munin is a networked resource monitoring tool that can help analyze resource trends and "what just happened to kill our performance?" problems.

You can find an introductory guide and more options here.

Turns out the SD card was done for. This became apparent when trying to format it and it couldn't be done.
