That would explain the reboots. CPU overheats and then reboots. If it's been running fine for 4 months, yes, then it's burned in, but the fan (or some other hardware) might have failed in the mean time.

Hi All,
Thanks to all of you that replied so promptly to my question. However I think I failed to outline the situation clearly enough so with the responses so far in mind...
Question was: Is it possible for FreeBSD to shut itself down and restart for no reason?
- The "new server in question has been running at another facility without any problems for about 4 months so I am assuming it is "burned in" and stable.
- The logs (var/log/messages, /var/log/httpd-error.log) do not show any obvious issues such as kernel panics, just a hard restart (/ not dismounted correctly)
- As far as I can tell the box has not been exploited -- if someone we restarting the machine via software then / would dismount correctly.
Further thoughts, suggestions?
TIA
Steve
--- Previous question in full:
My machine was restarted last night and my hosting company claims they did not touch the server or have any problems. This has been going of for a few months now -- intermittent restarts that no one claims responsibility for.
This is a new machine with the latest OS (4.7) so I can't blame a faulty power supply or something like -- I have more fans than Britney in the server, for HD and CPU so I don't think it's a temp problem.
