I will give two suggestions. Is the power supply to your firm/house whatever "clean" ? Computers don't like dirty power, that is power prone to what I think experts call grey-outs. They don't like spikes either, momentary increases in voltage. Do you live in an area prone to thunderstorms? You can get devices to protect against somne of these things. My second suggestion is going to sound really weird. My FreeBSD system disappears into the boonies when I have a screen saver enabled. That is xscreevsaver. Given enough time, and enough core dumps. it crashes my system as sure as eggs is eggs. I kind of proved this by leaving the systen running for days with and without screen saver. It boonied with the screen saver, it did not wihout. A few questons. Power supply ? Do you have SCSI disks ? They eat electricity like it is going out of fashion. Heat, is the server overheating ? If you have a modern BIOS it can tell you what the temperature is. You need to watch what the CPU temp is, because the reaction to over heating is reboot. Good luck. -- Regards Cliff [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
