My FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p3 system has gone down a few times in the last

/var/log/messages or dmesg about the incident.
Here's the output from the `last` command:

As you can see, the system reboot several times, and crashed the most
recent time. Only one of the shutdown/reboots listed is valid - the
furthest one.
I have no idea why it is rebooting/crashing. It has been completely
stable until about 1-2 days ago. If anyone can direct me to post the
output to any commands or any log messages, I'd be more than willing
to do so in order to help anyone diagnose my problem.
Thank you for your time.
What you are experiencing are the early warning signs of disk drive failure
or over heating problems.
Before doing any thing else make backup of your user data if you have not
done so already.
Then open your box and use a small brush and a can of compressed air to blow
the dust off the motherboard and the fans. Give special attention to the fan
in the power supply. If PC is older than 3 years or has over 1 year of
continues use then replace the power supply.
IF problem still happens replace hard drive.
The system is in a colocation center which I don't have access to. The
HDD crashed several months ago and was replaced by a brand new drive
(or so I was told....). So I'm leaning towards a heat or PSU problem.
I installed Healthd on the system to monitor such things, however it
didn't detect the hardware properly. Apparently the voltage in my CPU
core was 0.00, as was the temperature. Is there any other way to
monitor these things?
Everyone: Thanks for all the help. I'll open up a ticket with my host
to get them to look at it.
