    My hobby FreeBSD box has started to reboot at semi-regular intervals,
    and I can't figure out why.

    There seems to be no warning, no message at the console and no
    indication of (or, probably, I don't recognize) the problem at reboot.

    This happened a few months ago, and for some reason I deduced that
    the computer was getting too hot. I installed a better fan, and that
    seemed to do it.

    Now it's happening again, and I'm not sure I can blame heat.

    What log files should I be looking at?

    (BTW, hardware is a Shuttle SB51G enclosure with a 2GHz Intel
    Celeron, circa Jan. 2003)
