Hi,

I'm not familiar with BSD's either since I never worked with
them, but I also suspected that maybe it is a CPU over-heat.

In my case, I was over-clocking a little bit but it was a
CYRIX 233 ( what'd you expect ;) ) and it mysteriously
kept going down.

Of course, I cant interpret oops logs so I left the situation
alone until I found a s*it load of dust clogging up the CPU
fan and heat sink, bringing it almost to a halt.
Man was that baby burnin' ;)

Cleaned it up, set jumpers back to default and all is
well now.

Since I'm on a maintenance-talk spree :) ---
Sometimes cheap RAM is known to be buggy.
Also, pluging/unpluging of cards/cables/ram etc helps since
corrosion builds up between the contacts over a period of
time and loses some conductivity (living here in Japan with
all this moist is a real killer).

cheers,

jamie

ps
maybe its an unknown virus that eats the cpu waffers
(just kidding...)
