Check RB44 in any regular PC if everything work fine, check RB230 PCI socket - is it all legs fine.Some times few legs bend inside PCI socket.

hi
it was work fine with legacy network interfaces like d-link 530tx.
but i was check that (pci bus raiser and pci connector) all seen normal.
i guess that is soft ware problem.

I make same configuration and test with Router OS 2.8.28 and 2.9.43 and don't have any problem. Are you sure, it is RB44 with VT6105 PHY not RB44G or RB44GV? Remove bracket from RB44 and try without RB71 riser card. Only don't put it in a wrong way:))

Hi,

Thanks for replay.I have RB44 with VIA chepset.
(VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105 [Rhine-III] (rev: 134) Vendor ID 0x1106 Device ID 0x3106)

I was check 2 RB44 on two RB230 and it was the same !!
I guess i found the problem. I was do several things.

1- change the bios battery backup.
2- set pci-back off (i don't know what's this mean ? :? ) to disable in bios (default is enable)
3- set cpu mode to normal (default is power save)

until now i have 23 hour without any reboot. :)


Best Regards
Ali
