Even though 7.1 has bugfixes, this kind of guesswork causes a lot of downtime for OP without any certainty that things will be any better. At the very least, we should find out if the OS is at fault at all. For Proskurin: Find out if the machine reboots, because of a kernel panic and if so try to get a kernel crash dump [1]. If it does not panic, you're 90% sure it's a hardware issue. The remaining 10% is left for the case where FreeBSD does not configure hardware correctly through ACPI, causing hardware to operate badly.
