My new system keeps rebooting (5 times last night) without any logs, console errors or kernel dump. I would be interested to know whether somebody else uses this machine. I currently have 7.0 PRERELEASE installed from last week sources. I tried to install 6.3-RELEASE but the computer rebooted while the data were copied from the CD to the hard disk. The computer has 2 Broadcom NICs and 3 SATA II disks, no RAID. It sometimes reboots even in Single User Mode when idle. I recompiled the kernel this morning without SMP support but no luck. I am not sure anymore whether this is a hardware or a software issue. Any suggestions on a bootable CD diagnostic tool that I could run outside FreeBSD would be very welcome. Regis P.S. I also posted this message on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc
