As other wrote: it can be anything. I had a similair problem and it almost drove me mad. It was a webhosting machine running 5.4, later 6.1 and up. The machine was running Cpanel, a webhosting panel. I've tried everything (memory testing, stress testing, etc etc): kept rebooting. Just when I was at the point of actually stopping my webhosting business (I just have that as a hobby), I swapped the dual Xeon Supermicro that was giving problems with a really old dual P3 Dell 1650. It's been running stable since then. Stable but slow. :) Same for my backup machine, which was a self-built Dual Athlon MP (well, built by a computer supplier). Swapped that for an old dual P4 Dell 2550 and: all is fine. Doesn't help you much, except if you have some old Dell hardware laying around. :) /Robin -- F/X Services Managed Hosting http://www.fx-services.com | http://www.fxs.se
