Web interface accessible, did a reboot and still running, log files refreshing too,
Thanks to @Mcat12 @RamSet and @DanSchaper for great help and patience with me(still a noob) and the problem.

Same occurred for me on my Orange PI last week.
Orange Pi zero is sort of unstable for me, it shuts down every 2-3 weeks, moving back to RPi 2 soon.
well, this didn't effect the pihole or dns over http, all was fine. I running two units in different locations for about 3 month and this was the first time problem. we experience a lot of blackouts here where I live( 1or 2 a day) and I'm really surprised how well the units still perform. By now I really don't see the need to change the board as we only run pi-hole on it but I will make a backup of the image for the future and just replace the sd card if some more trouble comes up. I got a raspberry 3 too but we use it for gaming and entertainment. cheers
As Pi's don't always respond well to power loss, you might consider putting your Pi's on a battery backup (UPS or similar). With the low power draw of those units, the backup supply doesn't need to be very large.

yes you very right @jfb I thought about it and I will do it for sure, thinking about a little power-bank but can they simultaneous charging/discharging? still looking for a cheap solution, any ideas are very welcome , thanks and cheers
I got started reading these, so many I haven't gotten far enough to choose one.
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=raspberry+pi+ups&t=opensuse&ia=web
Amazon has a good selection: (search says "too many words" but it finds several different groups of devices below that)
I haven't used any of the power packs that charge while the Pi is plugged into them. I have two UPS in my house (one for router/modem/home automation hub), and the other for my office (computers, drives, etc.). I have four Pi's plugged into those two UPS. Since I already had the UPS, this was my least expensive solution.
For some Pi's, you can get battery backup hats. These have a pretty small battery and software to shut the Pi down when power is lost. Not intended to keep it running for long, just to let it close open files and shutdown gracefully.
