Hi Chuck, I ran memtest86+ by loading it from the loader prompt. It completed Pass 1 with no errors in about 45 minutes. While I'll re-run memtest86+ for at least 2 passes tonight, I more suspect bad blocks in my ffs slice. So I am planning to install sysutils/smartmontools and run smartctl on /dev/ad8s2 (the ffs slice). Is there any port for monitoring system thermals, particularly CPU ?

Can you run prime95 testing overnight und er WinXP without issues? Or memtest86? BTW, 8.2 does NOT - for reasons unfathomable to me - install /usr/sbin/apmd. I don't know how significant that is, but I have had to insert into rc.conf : apm_enable="NO" apmd_enable="NO" ACPI replaced APM around 2000. (I'm assuming you don't have a 11-year-old quad -core Phenom system, since AMD didn't make such processors until 2007 or 2008.)
