 I'd suggest that you try enabeling crash dumps by setting
 
 dumpdev="/my/swap/device"
 
 in /etc/rc.conf. You'll need a swap device which is atleast as big
 as the amount of memory in your machine. After this, the next time
 it reboots see if you get a crash dump or any more useful message
 in the logs.
 
 If you don't get something more informative, then the chances are
 that the problem is some sort of hardware problem. If you do get a
 message when we have a better idea what is going on.
 
 	David.
