Its not always instant, sometimes its after 4 hours of uptime, and its
almost always on the yarrow or swi4 process. I would really like to
solve this problem, would this be an issue of the motherboard or
freebsd? If its the earlier, i can contact the manufacturer, but i would
appreciate more information on the problem.

Thanks.
