I regret that this is as positively as I can identify the hardware at this time. When browsing the internet (whether it be loading web pages or downloading files) or utilizing KGet (an application created for the K Desktop Environment used for downloading files over the internet), the computer will occasionally freeze (meaning that all activity on the monitor ceases, the hard drive indicator light ceases lighting up, and input is non-responsive) such that a reset of the computer is required to get an operational system again. When the system becomes non-responsive, the screen will go black a short time later. Though the modem stops transmitting data once the system stops responding, it still behaves as if it is connected to my ISP (that is, the "OH", "MR", "CD", and "PWR" lights are still active). It should be noted that I use PC-BSD, not pure Free-BSD. However, as almost 90 percent of its code base is derived from FreeBSD, I felt that the problem probably lies with it, not, PC-BSD. I have taken this problem to the official PC-BSD IRC channel, where I was instructed by a fellow user to build a kernel which included the DDB capability. I have done this, and am prepared to obtain whatever information is required with DDB, provided I am told how to do so. >How-To-Repeat: Presumably, one must possess the required hardware and use the internet for an indeterminate amount of time to reproduce the problem. >Fix: Unknown. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
