      Hi, I use pfSense from 2 weeks. Every 2-3 days in the morning I find the pfSense freezed, no interactions are allowed for web interface, no navigation, nothing, I can only reboot with a reset.

      It's a normal situation? Must I scheduel a reset every night?  Or I have a problem ? What can I do to find it?

      Thank you very much.

      **Software:**pfSense 1.2.2-RELEASE
      Hardware: Compaq PL800 6/350e (Pentium II  350 MHz, 128 MB RAM, 10 GB SCSI HDD)
      NICs: LAN: fxp0, WAN: ep1
      Packages: squid, squidGuard

        What version of pfSense - is the console also locked up?

        I'd guess at a hardware problem, but we need to know more.

          Did you try a memtest??
          When it freezes does it also indicate watchdog timeouts??
          Thermal issue??

            Thank you for your answers.

            The version is 1.2.2.

            I didn't any tests, I must prepare a replacement for the network and then I will test the hardware.

            I find the pfsense's pc without any errors… today in the morning again and in the first reboot it stops the execution without the normal acustic signal but with a continuous signal.
            It didn't start and then I reboot again.

            Where I can find a system log?

              This is almost always a hardware problem.  Replacing the hardware should solve this issue.
