Micah, I had a motherboard fail with a similar set of symptoms. Mine was due to bad capacitors on the motherboard itself. Take a look and make certain that none of them are swollen or pushing material out the top. Heat also leads to random resets - is your fan still running smoothly or is it covered in dust and cat hair like mine..? Best of luck - hope this helps, Jim Gorski Message: 14 Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 00:59:37 -0800 From: Garrett Cooper <youshi10@u.washington.edu> Subject: Re: Diagnosing reboot under load To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Message-ID: <436F1779.7090807@u.washington.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=3DISO-8859-1 <snip> >>>> Micah wrote: >>>> >>>>> >>>>> My desktop system just started doing this last night.
