FreeBSD 6.2 Repeating Crash - Sleeping thread; Fatal trap 12: page fault; warning: 'T2' might be used uninitialized

[Brian A. Seklecki]

Hardware can be eliminated by running memtest86 bootable ISOs from the
web site.  A bad sector test on the drives would be less ambiguous
(kernel messages preceeding a panic).  Smart can be helpful.

Overheating CPUs and underpowered/overheated Power Supplies can cause
problems, but they would normally manifest in memtest86+ failures
