      Thank you again Cry Havok!
      Can I ask you some questions?
      Do you boot pfsense with acpi enable or disable?
      Make some difference?

        Enabled currently, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

          Have you turned off USB 2.0 in Bios ???
          Mine did the same (hanging)

          Microsoft gives you "Windows"

            I think the BIOS settings are default - I don't remember changing anything except the processor throttling on overheat.

              You have to turn off USB 2.0
              There is an option somewhere.
              Don't disable the hole USB stuff, just USB2.0

                  Did it work when you dissabled USB 2.0? I'm thinking about buying some FX5620 and i'm trying to learn about the problems.

                    Hi VaCUm,
                    I have changed the box with another one, and it works without problem (the uptime is > 7 days)
                    When I 'll return in office I'll test the previous box with the usb 2 disabled.

                      The only problem I've had with mine is the fact that it uses RealTek for the network.  If I saturate my 20 Mb pipe I'm seeing 50% CPU time handling interrupts :(

                      On the other hand, that leaves the other 50% for running Squid etc, which is generally more than enough :)

                        I've had one of these for over a year on my production network with a full install on a microdrive. Never had a problem with it.

                        There may be something to the box getting too hot with a SFF IDE HD inside. I have a similar sized passively cooled box that doesn't work reliably with an internal HD and the case closed - it overheats. Haven't tried a HD in my FX5620.
