That's when it started happening. You have changed three variables, so it is difficult to determine which one (or which combination) might be responsible for your problem. However, here are some things that you might think about: How regularly does this happen? Is it always at the same time of day? Try to correlate the reboots with some other regular events. If possible, record all of the times when the reboots happen and plot them. Look at the data and try to see if they fit any other patterns. Even consider seemingly unrelated, external events such as spikes in the power usage in your building, or things that might cause temperature variations in the room where the machine is kept (such as sunlight coming in through a window, etc). > God, I dont have TIME to weed thru trying new boards and new > CPUs. > > I wish there was a quick fix. > A fix requires knowing what the problem is! -brian -- Brian O'Shea boshea@ricochet.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
