You didn't happen to install the latest RaQ3-All-System Release 3.0.1-6375
patch from Cobalt's web site last week did you...?  The patch was for the
stats program/logs, but Cobalt pulled the flawed update (again) only days
after posting it to the world to corrupt RaQ3 users systems... 

Turns out (as noted by Cobalt support):

If you installed that patch/update, and your logs were too big, it would crash
the box...

Good Luck
David
