FreeBSD 6.2 complete freeze

Sat Jan 12 23:06:57 PST 2008

Your hardware is bad.  I've seen this sort of thing dozens
of times before.  Likely it's bad ram, but it could be
something else.

Of course, I don't expect you to believe me.  Load Windows
on it and run some stuff on it and I'll bet it will freeze
too.

The very first step you need to do on troubleshooting this
kind of thing is to build a second system - make sure it's
not from the same vendor, not the same motherboard, not the
same CPU, etc. - and build the software on it exactly like
the first.  Then swap it out and see if the freezing starts
on the new system.  I would bet that it will not.
