RE: FreeBSD 4.X and 5.X installation problem

Also, check your heat sink, fan[s] and processor. Ensure the processor is
seated properly and getting good cooling. You may want to try the processor
on another motherboard, or replace the fan, just to make sure.

it is deffinately some hardware issue i just cant point out what though
,cause i hadnt added anything in this box to make it start rebooting itself
when it started that i decided to try a new OS, which didnt work out much as
i said, right now i am assuming it could either be my mobo or RAM, i am just
hoping it is RAM, that will be much easier to replace . the 80GB is the same
make us some of the disks which where in the box

cheers
