how to debug a lock-up?

[Derek Ragona]

Look at the other logs in /var/log to see if there are any log entries that 
might point to something.

You can trim down the system and build a custom kernel, and go through 
/etc/rc.conf and /usr/local/etc/rc.d and make sure you are only starting 
essential services.

Depending on what you are using this server for, you may want to add more 
logging for those services such as mail, web, etc.

Run the manufacturer's diagnostics.  It sounds like a hardware problem.
