      @firefox We had some issues with Cisco routers doing this a couple years ago during the holidays. Cisco had information on a set of products that had defective RAM causing the memory pointer error. We must have replaced hundreds of memory sticks after that preemptively. This looks exactly like that. Good catch. Let us know how it turns out with the new memory sticks. You're right on with isolationing the issue.

            Do you mean the format of the disk?

            In any case, a small update, I only got to mess with it today
            I replaced the computer's memories
            There were 4 sticks of 4 gigabytes, that is 16 gigabytes
            I removed them and put 2 new ones of 4 GB
            Meanwhile the computer is working

            I surf through another router
            If by the end of the day it doesn't cause problems I will add 2 more new 4 gig sticks
            Then wait to see what happens

              https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/install-zfs.html
              I mean when you have installed it which one filesystem you have been selected? ZFS or UFS?

                When I installed I did an automatic installation without any additional settings

                  That's fine. You can find it on the dashboard. Disks widget.

                          @firefox 1. boot environments, also less issues with cold boot resets. More stable filesystem.
