I am a madman that runs a shell server.  The server was running just fine
untill a few days ago when I upgraded some hardware.  Now it randomly
reboots every 20 or so hours, which is very bad for me.  Does anyone know
where I should start in finding the problem?

I was running:
A PII 233mhz with 512mb of Ram on a Tyan S1832DL with FreeBSD 2.2.6.
I ran in this configuration with 4 128mb dimms at one time and 2 128mb dimms
and 1 256mb dimm on anouther occasion with no problems.  In both cases the
stability was great.

Recently, I replaced the 233mhz with a 350mhz and put in anouther 128mb
dimm.  So I now have 3 128mb dimms and 1 256mb dimm for a total of 640mb.
Each of these dimms was running just fine in one of the previous setups with
great reliability.

So I know the Ram I am using works fine at 66mhz and I *think* it is all
pc100, but I am not sure.  If one of the dimms is not, should the system
even boot when I try a 100mhz bus processor?  Is there anything else anyone
can think of that might cause the about problem of randomly rebooting after
many hours?  Is there any strange thing that freebsd might start doing when
the system has more than 512mb that could do this?

I can't really open the box and check to see if all the ram is pc100 right
now, because the box is a few miles away right now.
