System crashes - how can I find out why? Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Sorry for being extremely un-specific but I just don't know what's happening and I understand practically nothing of debugging. Recently I had to re-install my FreeBSD-2.2-RELEASE and now weird things happen. System hangs, then crashes silently and sends my PC to reboot without any visible reason. It always happens when I'm trying to ftp anyplace and receive at least some signal (even ls output), it happens when I run "make test" for tcl-7.6 or even out of the blue when I'm merely using xedit. But (so far) only under X. How can I find out what's the reason for this and (preferably) make the system stable again? Any help, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Vladimir
