If that's true, that would be a poor excuse for a motherboard based on my experience with PC Chips products. Check your RAM, make sure it's properly rated for the speeds you're running at. If the machine is dying in the middle of a cron job which does the standard system checks, you may also want to do some stress testing on the disk subsection. Also check dmesg for any anomalous readings (cards that don't show up, hardware that's detected but "unknown", etc.) --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
