Any ideas? Hi Tom, I would go to the archives and do a search on "FIXED, PANIC & Re: [Q] How stable is FreeBSD 3.X". There has been a sizable discussion on how to find defective hardware. It started out as "How Stable..." and when Quinlan found the defective Pentium, the email had the first subject. Non-scheduled reboots are typically defective hardware. I've deleted the thread from my mailer but it will be in the archive. The problem is getting something that will cause it to fail. A buildworld seems to be a favorite tool. It stresses everything. It causes things to heat up in general. If it fails, you start with memory and work down the list. I had a motherboard that would BW just fine but do a couple of things with X and it would hang. A new modern MB got rid of the problem.
