Firewall suddenly hung / froze

Hey there community,

Recently our Endian Firewall suddenly hung / froze on two consecutive days.

Apparently this happened to be sometime in the morning.
We couldn't connect to the web interface of the firewall nor restart the firewall by the reset button. Ultimately, we had to hard restart the firewall by unplugging

We were not able to save any logs so we don't know where to start looking for.

Our system:
Appliance   Community
Version   2.5.1
Kernel   2.6.32.43-57.e43.i586

We are thankful for any helpful post.

Regards,

Could be a hardware issue, check cooling fans for the CPU and power supply.  Connect a monitor see if the gui comes up.

Thanks dda for your quick reply.

Our fans and cooling system were up and running so no issues there.

What I forgot to mention: We did try to connect a monitor via VGA, however, we didn't get a picture at all. Monitor said "No signal", tried with different VGA cables, no chance.

Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Kindest regards,

I've had a similar problem, after a while I found that the problem was my NIC, when there was too much traffic it frozen the entire system
check in log if something can help you, maybe messages or dmesg

does the machine beep when it boots?  If the video is card is bad it won't boot.
