Unfortunately, it's not always easy to determine the cause. Are you using %100 certified RAM for your motherboard? just because it's new doesn't mean jack. I had servers go wild with brand new out of the box RAM and harddrives. You said it only started recently, try to remember after what? some change you made? more load? do you have logs enabled? anything in there? do you monitor this machine? what's the load average like? swap usage, etc... what is it doing most of the time? -Simon On Wed, 23 Aug 2000 18:33:21 -0500 (CDT), Chris Byrnes wrote: >I'm running 3.5-STABLE. > >Recently, my server has started rebooting, at random times, usually >actually quite religiously about every 2 days. > >I thought it might be a RAM problem.
