Like Karol Kwiatkowski suggested, I would say you have about a 99% chance this is a hardware failure. In addition to what Karol suggested, it could also be a faulty power supply. Also, I would say look into the hardware in this order: 1. RAM 2. Power Supply 3. CPU Note: The above is just my personal opinion. -- Tabor Kelly tkelly-freebsd-questions@taborandtashell.net http://tabor.taborandtashell.net
