My 600E does not get much use these days and is running 5.3-Stable of
about 2 months ago, but I'll see if anything rings a bell.

1. Are you running ACPI, APIC, SMP in your config or loader.conf?
2. Is the BIOS current? Old 600E BIOS had major ACPI issues (if you are
   running ACPI).

I'd suggest making the kernel config and a verbose dmesg available if you
expect anyone to be able to guess what is happening.
