Everyone has said it is hardware so I moved the box to a different motherboard and processor. And wouldn't you know it, the other motherboard that was being used for the machine was a VIA chipset. I had noticed problems with DMA for awhile, so much so that to get a hard-drive installed with UDMA 66 I had to completely turn DMA off just to get it to do a newfs. I guess I just need to go and get another MotherBoard so this PIII-550 doesn't go to waste and I can get off the PII-350. I would like to thank everyone for all the excellent information they have provided, I really got alot of useful info from everything, thank you.

I have been reading the Another guy and I have been having similar issues with our MB's, my turns out to be a problem with DMA and the VIA chipset. It's currently a known issue and is being worked on. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. FWIW, my box reboots at least 2-3 times a day and its supposed to be our network server :P....has VERY little load (nat, ipfw). Also, the modifying part sounds like you have antivirus check enabled in your bios. might want to check that out :).
