I have been having problems with a CentOS 5.3 Fileserver (64 Bit) lately that wants to run reboot all of a sudden. It was up for over 200 days without an issue. I have run a burn in on the server and it was fine. Checked the memory with memcheck86+ and it was fine. Ran a CPU burn-in along with bonnie++ looping for 5 hours and the I couldn't get the CPU to over heat or the power supply to choke on heavy load. It seems to be a power management problem, yet am even running the same kernel that it ran for 200 days hasn't made the system stable. I did have to replace the motherboard battery but I have restored the BIOS settings and the problems existed before the battery went. The system just stops working without warning and it's getting worse. It only seems to happen when it's somewhat idle for an extended period.<br>
<br>It's a Athlon 64x2 3800+ Running on a MSI K9N Platinum with Linux software raid 5 across 4 WD 250 Satas. I have checked the drives and they seem fine. I am currently running FSCK to see if it finds any problems. <br clear="all">
<br>Anyone else experiencing problems with CentOS 5.3 lately? I am wondering if it's a package that might be causing the instability. And yes I have checked to see if the system was compromised but I haven't found anything.<br>
