Well, it sounds like something in the area of a power or heat problem. But, it is hard to tell. dmesg.boot will not tell you much about what caused the system to go down. It only contains information about it coming back up. You might try and look in to /var/log/messages et al. But, I would check on power consistency and if any component is heating up. ////jerry > > > > Here is the output of dmesg.boot: > > Copyright (c) 1992-2005 The FreeBSD Project. > Copyright (c) 1979, 1980, 1983, 1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 > The Regents of the University of California.
