After trying out with some programs we found a very little program like flops (a simple FPU benchmark) does the same thing, the system reboots before the first result is printed. We have played with iozone with several file/block sizes and no problems ocurrs. This seems something related to hardware but we can't find out where to look for to ask the vendor to replace the defective parts. Could someone sugest tests/diagnosis or something to help us? Thanks Pedro
