I've got an overclocked dual PPro box that's been running like a rock since 3.0-CURRENT. I upgraded it to October-ish 4.4-STABLE after not touching it for a long time, and since then it's taken to rebooting itself anything from once every two-three weeks to twice a day, whereas before it ran for weeks or months between source upgrades reinstalls, happily building world every week. I _had_ figured (Occam's Razor and all that) that it just got old and/or damaged (a PSU fan failed too, some time ago, and it got pretty hot inside). Now I'm wondering about throwing a older -RELEASE version onto the secondary drive from CD and seeing if this changes anything...
