I was sure that my power supply its not e= nough so I changed it (300W->450W), now it does the same. I'm looking for a= tool to measure the exactly power consumiton (voltage and amper) of my hdd= , cpu and ram on FreeBSD. > Do you have any idea? > > Thank you! > L=C3=A1szl=C3=B3 > You don't mention details on mobo/ram, but if you have >4gb ram on amd64, you might want to try reducing ram to <=3D4gb. I had one mobo (Intel DG965RYCK) that was exhibited odd behaviour with more than 4gb ram installed. Simple file copies (on ZFS), buildworlds etc caused various panics or outright hangs (!). Usually this would be a clear indication of faulty RAM, but it passed all memtests. Changed everything (ram, psu, hdd, cables, RMA'd the mobo), no difference. Turned out to be a BIOS bug, some linux list had discussions on the same bug.
