Very often it is bad RAM. Try a memory tester such as memtest86, http://www.memtest86.com/ If that shows RAM is good, replace your disks, then other components until you have a stable system. If the problem persist, open a new report with much more debug info. See the handbook on how to enable crashdumps and getting a stack trace. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=42836 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
