      My box is crashing multiple times a day. I am using a HP T730 Thinclient as my pf-sense router. I have 4 other sites using the same router and 3 of those sites use the same add in network card so are 100% identical hardware and none of them have this same problem.

        Hmm, well it's unhappy with SMP there somewhere. Those crashes look the same or similar so not something random like bad RAM.

        They all running the same BIOS version?

          yep!

          SMP is not ringing a bell, but I'm sure it'll come to me.

            Symmetric MultiProcessing. More than one CPU core. You could try disabling all but one core as a test maybe.

              Well that makes sense. I ran hp’s diagnostic over night and it 100% froze without any errors. It was 100% locked! I’ll try and see if there is a way to turn off multi core in the bios. If not, since the cpu is soldered to the board that means I’ll probably just need to get another t730.

                Mmm, yup sounds like a hardware issue then. Always suspect RAM first. Try removing or disabling whatever you can.
