pfsense restarts everyday

bokikay

I keep wondering why my pfsense restarts on its own though i didn't do anything. sometimes i see errors on in the log saying re0 watchdog timeout. and I also see crash report error. does this cause the problem? why it keeps restarting?

@bokikay it's probably hw issue. Pls tell something about your device.
BTW, maybe this will help https://www.ateamsystems.com/tech-blog/freebsd-pfsense-link-state-re0-watchdog-timeout-errors/

First you need read crash report, or attached it here. Second, did you enable watchdog in your bios/uefi? Try disable it for test.

re0 watchdog timeout

re0 is the realtek network card
read this and see if it help
else change the network card with one that use intel chip
