If the system is randomly rebooting, this sounds more like a hardware problem then a problem with FreeBSD. First thing I would check is the system's power supply and CPU fan (overheating often can cause random reboots. Is the CPU fan working? Is the power supply fan working?). Often times, flakey power supplies that have voltage variations can cause random reboots. Is the CPU overclocked? That can also cause random rebooting. If none of the above take care of the problem, check out the motherboard. It's also possible (but not very likely) that it could be a problem with the CPU itself. CPU problems are rare though, and unless the cooling fan on the CPU is not working, or you are running it overclocked, this is most likely a power supply or motherboard problem. Mike.
