Hi,

Over the past few months, my FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE server has been rebooting
for no apparent reason.  I was wondering if there was a way to figure out
why it reboots.  The amount of time it takes until it reboots can vary
from 2 hours to 8 days.

If it is a hardware problem, any idea which hardware is causing it to
reboot?

I thought it might have been the power supply because once in a while the
entire system would go dead like there was no juice to it.  I have replaced
the power supply and it is still rebooting.
