Check the system board, RAM slots etc. Get all the dust and lint that may have built up and is holding heat. Does your motherboard BIOS provided you with any temp reading? I had this same issue with 4.8,. 4.9 and 4.11 but is was the hardware and not the OS that was causing the problem. A good cleaning once a year never hurts The RAM, motherboard and IO controller for the IDE hard drive could be at fault. If you clean everything and do not have a over heat problem. I would try replacing the power supply, with at least a 350 Watt system that can keep that unit cool.. Can you get your important data e.g /usr /home backed up if the hard drive is going south on you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ */Jeff Norris/* /~ Web Hosting ~ VPN Solutions ~ Network Management ~ Design, deploy, kick ass. / *N*orris*Techs* dot net http://www.norristechs.net *AOL IM or Yahoo IM: _ ntshelper _* rtsit wrote: >I've got a problem with FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE resetting >itself.
