Well, Win2K may not stress the hardware as much, and you may be looking at a marginal CPU or possibly memory, which would cause the BTX fault you saw, and might explain some of the other problems you are having. I would try swapping CPU's, memory, and/or mobo's and see if that fixes the problem. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
