I did some digging... I too had bought the machine built by an integrator... They however used DDR2 RAM that is 2.0V where as the motherboard spec calls for 1.8V DDR2. I'm betting that is what my problem is, so I ordered some DDR2 that was listed on the compatibility list from the MB mfctr. I'm hoping that, as well as the BIOS update solves everything. I'll let everyone know my result just for their own information. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Robin Vleij Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2007 1:07 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Server rebooting itself Don O'Neil wrote: Don, > This happens randomly every 3-20 days (no apparent pattern). > Any suggestions on what to check next? As other wrote: it can be anything. I had a similair problem and it almost drove me mad. It was a webhosting machine running 5.4, later 6.1 and up. The machine was running Cpanel, a webhosting panel. I've tried everything (memory testing, stress testing, etc etc): kept rebooting. Just when I was at the point of actually stopping my webhosting business (I just have that as a hobby), I swapped the dual Xeon Supermicro that was giving problems with a really old dual P3 Dell 1650. It's been running stable since then. Stable but slow. :) Same for my backup machine, which was a self-built Dual Athlon MP (well, built by a computer supplier). Swapped that for an old dual P4 Dell 2550 and: all is fine. Doesn't help you much, except if you have some old Dell hardware laying around. :) /Robin -- F/X Services Managed Hosting http://www.fx-services.com | http://www.fxs.se _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
