Thanks for all the replies.
It may be a hardware issue. This is a more than four
year old computer. Btw, I forgot to mention this is
not a server, its running KDE, trying to use as a
desktop.
Any one of the hangs do not develop any core dump or
/var/crash/kernel.0 or /var/crash/vmcore.0. Just the
cursor disappear and keyboard does not respond. Only
switch off and on can bring the machine up.
Are there any hardware analyzing software that I can
run on FreeBSD, so that I could narrow down the cause?
