Hello all: I have a long running and (so far) very solid Intel N440BX motherboard in an Intel Columbus case, dual P-II 400 Mhz, 512M of ECC RAM, two Fujitsu SCSI-2 drives, etc. For the past 3-4 years, I've run FreeBSD 3.5 through 4.11 on this box, until about a month ago when I noticed that it was down. On investigation, I found out that one of the P-II fansinks had fallen off its CPU. Needless to say, the associated CPU self-destructed. I bought a couple of P-III 550 Mhz CPUs and put them in, and everything was fine, or so I thought. Now I'm experiencing random reboots, no core dumps or log messages and I'm trying to figure out what's gone wrong. I've dug up a few notes indicating that power supply or RAM are suspect. Does anyone know if going from P-IIs to P-IIIs would cause that much more stress on what should be a very solid system? Thanks in advance... --=20 Larry Gadallah, lgadallah AT gmail DOT com
