thanks Mike, i hope one day when i get it resolved, it will help someone at least. The last thing I am concerned with at this point is grammer :)

EDIT. I AM WRONG
I didnt read the whole thread but i had a similar issue. What worked for me so far (knock on wood) was switching from 32bit to 64 bit architecture. I only went through a few pages of your response, but do you mention whether your Pfsense is 64 or a 32 bit install?
my wan link would drop offline and a reboot would fix it, was my problem, and was solved for now changing the architecture.
Make sure your new pc has a firmware update on it, if no one mentioned that yet. Go get the latest motherboard firmware.
Did you try installing in uefi mode? did you try installing in legacy bios mode? does it make a difference?

I am running the 64 bit version. This is an old PC with a new firmware. I will play a little with the setting of UEFI and LEGACY. What I did do was change from DNS resolver to DNS forwarder and put back my original NIC and I have been up for 21.5 hours but that has happened before.

That wasnt what fixed it after all. Was a bad power supply 100% for sure. Uptime is 22 days now.
say no to used power supplies

I just had a dying power supply cause me all sorts of grief and weird symptoms on another computer. for my pfsense box, I think it was a bad cable/connector from my Internet provider. been rock solid ever since they came out and replaced all the ends and did a signal quality test.
