My system has been crashing once per day at minimum. I kept coming and and seeing that my kde session had logged me out and assumed that it was a kde problem until I did an uptime and noticed that my pc had just booted four hours prior. Here is the pastebin of the crash. Im not sure if this is directly related to PC-BSD or just a hardware problem or even just freebsd in general. I had freebsd 6.1 installed right before moving to pc-bsd and never had a problem. This is my third install in two weeks of pc-bsd and its happened every time "once again i thought it was a kde issue every time"

If you would rather I can paste the code directly. I just figure that this would be easier.

Thanks.

Website is offline at this moment, so I can't see what you put there.

Code:

pastebin.com port 80 closed.

Make sure you check every log at the time your computer went down (not when it came up) for unusual messages.

There, I reposted it on pastebin. It appears to be up now. This paste will highlight the crash so its easier to see.

Thanks.

Your error message usually indicates a hardware issue.
Power off, open the case, check all the cables and make sure everything is firmly seated.
You may want to use sysutils/memtest86 to check your memory.
Last year, my problem was a bad hard drive cable.

Well I dont know if this is just coincidence or what, but I noticed in the log around the crash that it said something about "network tray"??
Well, in KDE in the PCBSD install there is a network interface monitor loaded in the tray. I decided to shut that down just to see what happened. Well, it stopped crashing! It hasnt crashed ever since. Any idea why the network monitor in KDE would crash my pc like that? The nic is on the Mobo and I hope that its not a hardware problem.

It may be faulty hardware, driver, or acpi related. Possibly kernel related too, however I think thats the least likely. My vote for initial investigation is acpi.
