Sounds like faulty hardware to me (or _really_ misconfigured kernel and/or compilation options - yeah, I did that once :) ) First I would check memory with tools like memtest /usr/ports/sysutils/memtest86 Second I would check if CPU is not overheating. You could use /usr/ports/sysutils/cpuburn for that. That's for a start. If it's not hardware problem post more details: do you have custom kernel? If so, what options were changed? Was the system stable before changes? What about /etc/make.conf? etc. Regards, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski
