FreeBSD shutting down unexpectedly

[Olivier Gautherot]

Hi Yuri!

Good to see you solved your problem.

Just keep in mind that if your CPU overheated for some time, it is likely to 
die prematurely. I would strongly recommend to check the CPU temperature and, 
if you figure out that it is starting to heat up more than usual, be it by a 
couple of degrees, make sure you get quickly a replacement: it is usually the 
first sign of an agony... I had one die this way.

Cheers
	Olivier
