Maybe there is some issue with the CPU temp - I will have to see if I can tell the temp on this mobo. My guaranteed killer is to run [ vty 1 ] find -x /bigpart -type f -exec md5 {} \; [ vty 2 ] cd /usr/src while (1) make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC end Which I would guess increase the CPU temp (like a lot of things :) I will try just md5'ing a small file in a loop which should just make the CPU hot. -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
