Well,
1) this is in FAQ;
2) "complete story" is at

http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/

read it, really informative. In short: the main causes
of sig11 are bad memory [chips, controllers, cache, BIOS settings, etc.],
bad hardware, overclocking...

My personal opinion: 4.0 is very cool, but I'd not go
with -RELEASE, better grab a fresh snapshot from, say,

ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/

and install it.

Good luck,
Igor.
