Hey nerds!

    I'm having a bit of trouble with a new install of FreeBSD 4.0.  My copy of FreeBSD 3.4 'crashed' on me a couple days ago.  I was getting errors while running programs such as 'pico' or even 'ndc'.  Anyway, I did a format + CD-Rom installation of FreeBSD 4.0.  Ever since the install, my computer reboots itself automatically.  As I recall it does this when disk and network accesses are at an idle (this may having nothing to do with the problem though).  The error I've been receiving is as follow:

Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
fault virtual address: 0x8
fault code = supervisor read, page not present
instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc01cd748
stack pointer = 0x19:0xc02f7804
frame pointer = 0x10:0xc02f780c
code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b, DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1
processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0
current process = Idle
interrupt mask =
trap number = 12
panic: page fault

syncing disks... 19 11
done
Uptime: 13m12s

    I haven't modified the hardware at all since I originally installed FreeBSD 3.4-Stable.  I have, however, made the following changes in hopes that I could find a solution to the problem:
 
    1. Replaced the existing 128Mb DIMM with a different 128Mb DIMM.
    2. Replaced the existing 350MHz PII processor with a 400Mhz PII processor.
    3. Replaced the existing A-Bit BE6-II mainboard with an Asus P2B mainboard.
    4. Replaced the existing 250watt power supply with a 300watt power supply.
    5. Replaced the existing Quantum CX13.0 harddisk with a Quantum LM20 harddisk

    Essentially, the only hardware that has gone through all this with me are the network cards.  The NICs are both Realtek (8219 clone I think?).  I've also tried a macronix, but I only have one, so I can't rule out the fact that the system doesn't like my Realtek(s).  I think the biggest problem for me right now is that I can't decipher the error I'm getting.  One of the funniest (well, not really funny...) is that the current process is stated as being 'Idle'.  So is the system trying to tell me that it crashes when it's not doing anything?

    It would be excellent if anyone can point me in the right direction here!  Thanx in advance!
