That sounds like your system panics while you're running X, so you cannot see the panic message. By default, the system reboots after 15 seconds. There are several things that you can do in that situation. If the panic is reproducible without X, then please try to run the machine without X for a while, then record the panic message. Another way is to setup a serial console (e.g. another PC), so the panic message will be displayed there. You should also enable crash dumps via /etc/rc.conf, which can provide valuable information for solving the problem. Basically you have to add a line dumpdev="auto" to your /etc/rc.conf file. Please see the FreeBSD Handbook for details. Finally, it would be useful to have more information about your system configuration. If you've compiled your own kernel (i.e. not using GENERIC or SMP), then seeing your kernel config file would be useful. Also a verbose boot output is useful.
