Issue with pfSense and having to restart constantly
-
I had a rock solid sg-3100 for about 3 years until a few weeks ago. I was in the process of rebooting the device, but was never able to get it to boot correctly. After troubleshooting with Netgate support, it was determined that the file system was corrupt. I don't understand why the system would correct itself on booup, but that is a story for another day.
I made a full backup of the system right before I rebooted the system. I loaded pfSense on a spare laptop and got Internet back up. After a period of time, the system would have to be started. I bought a Liva PC and loaded pfSense on that. I have restored the configuration and thought I was back in business, but like the laptop, I have to restart the system ocasionally when I lose Internet access.
My questions are:
Where should I look as to the cause of the problem? I looked at the systems logs and have not seen anything that stuck out.
Was the Liva PC a wise hardware decision? If not, what hardware would you recommend?
Thank for any help.

Its time for a clean install and clean configuration. No one can comment on your new hardware when you haven't stated what you bought.
