So I'm downloading and syncing the blockchain using bitcoin core. Whenever it teaches block 810810, the terminal will just close by itself and then I restart the node, it will start syncing from block 809940. The debug.log file doesn't show any errors, it just stops at that point. This has happened about 5 times in a row now. The laptop I'm running it on has 8gb of ram and a terabyte of harddrive space. I checked for any hardware failures but the harddrive passes all checks. For what it's worth, my bitcoin.conf file looks like:
prune=5000
That's it.
The debug log's output when I run it with just the -daemon flag is:

The last few lines of the debug file when running it with the flags -nodaemon and -debug are:
2023-10-07T06:30:41Z [net] received block 00000000000000000000f560e0495f776189c1ba681c8fe4068ecd33d16584d6 peer=56

Any idea what could be going on? It's taken me 10 days to get to this point. I really hope I can continue from here.
