Hi all,
I changed hardware for motherboard Supermicro X9SCM-F and Xeon processor
3.2Ghz E31230 with 8Gb ram ECC. The problem stopped and the server was
very stable.
The problem could be with the Intel motherboard S5500BC? Because this
was installed with 2 Xeon processors and two memory banks 4Gb.
Could be FreeBSD incompatibility with the hardware or faulty hardware?
Thanks and best regards,
Gondim
