Hello Steve Have you tried to access the computer remotely after it crashes? Have you look at your dmesg out put? I recommend that you set your kernel up to save core dumps. This will save the core dumps if your kernel has crashed. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html If you are able to access your computer remotely this would indicate that your kernel is not crashing and you have another problem. This message should be posted on the freebsd-questions list.
