In the beginning i didn't suspect hardware because it happened only at compilation procedures. Now i realize that every other task i do isn't really demanding. > Look through /var/log/messages. i get this: Jul 13 09:00:00 apollo newsyslog[1018]: logfile turned over due to size>100K * CPU overheating -> Is there anyway to check for cpu temperatures within freebsd? -> I 've used the pc for like 8 hours in a really hot day but it didn't restart...if this can be considered as an indication. *Memory -> i used memtest ,from an ubuntu live cd, to check the memory and everything works fine according to it. *PSU I have a 400Watt PSU... maybe this is inadequate. I will try to swap it for something stronger to see how it goes. In general where are there any stress tests i can do, to test the PSU and some major subsystems of the computer? thanks in advance, nikos PS: this was a ready-made pc that had it's p4 processor upgraded to a dual core. It also got a new motherboard and 2G of ddr2. It has an old nvidia GeForce fx 5200, and a 400watt nameless PSU. I only have freebsd,which i installed a month ago, on it.
