Re: [CentOS] System crash -- no clue why

Hi --

My CentOS 5.8 server crashed, leaving no clue why. The last entry in /var/log/messages is a dhcpd notice around 4:00am, followed by the restart message when I rebooted. The only clue that I have is that the fan was running full speed when I restarted it. The fan slowed to normal speed.

Is normal on some mainboards.

Any ideas what I can do to find out the cause?

I would go check your hardware - memtest - look inside the case for piling dust on coolers - and check if you do not have bad capacitors (bulged)
