Panic/reboot - a little help.

Sun Apr 9 13:40:10 UTC 2006

Here is the standard causes.
I all most all cases this is a hardware problem.

Motherboard is overheating because of years of accumulated dust.
Open box and use small paint brush to blow away dust on motherboard
chips.
Remove heat sink on CPU and clean out chocking dust and reinstall.

Power supply's just go bad over time resulting in lower operating
voltages
to motherboard and hard drive. Hard drive will not spin as fast
which causes
the r/w heads not to fly above platter with out touching the
surface.
Hard disk starts going bad because of this and will need replacement
along with the power supply.

Power supply has cooling fan which can become plugged with dust.
Cleaning out dust in power supply may result in output voltage to
return to normal.

Hard drive central bearing wears out over time and causes the
platters
to wobble allowing the r/w heads to rub on surface of platters
causing
surface damage and loss of data.

What you may be experiencing is end-of-life of your PC.

Back up your user data now or it may be gone for every.

Subject: Panic/reboot - a little help.

My desktop box, which has run very stable for a couple years now
using
which ever version of FreeBSD I've been running at the time, has
developed a sudden and alarming need to panic. I have two vmcore
files
at this point, but I'm unsure how much actual help they'll be in
figuring out what's happening because I don't have debugging
compiled
into the kernel (never needed it before!) nor do I actually know
exactly
how to gather any information from them if they *can* still be of
use. I
can tell you this has happened twice now in the past 5 hours. Once I
was
asleep, and once I was reading my email. I'm going to include what I
can
here, any suggestions or ideas what's happening will be a great
help.

Also, this message comes up when the system saves the vmcore:

Thanks in advance for the assistance with this.
