Do you prefer version 7.2.4 over 8.X. To refrase the question if we upgrade the software is there any particular reason not to upgrade to

8.X version? Thank you for your time.

Could be as simple as a loose power connector. The older PIX 501 and 506/506E were prone to such problems.

Remember the numbering convention conveys whether the release is a major change or a minor change

Also keep in mind that lots of new features typically means lots of new bugs.

Do you need features that are in 8.x ; you should consider this question carefully.

Think about the impact if you have to back out the release 7.2.4 or

8.x - it happens - I have had to do it more times than I care to think about

Get the release notes for which ever target images you are considering and go over them very carefully - looks at what has been resolved and what caveats are still open.

And as Walters has pointed out check the power cords, etc

Installed 7.2.4 and that seems to have fixed the problem. The ASA stoped rebooting itself and everything seems to be normal. Thanx everyone for taking the time to respond.
