Windows 7 freesing over network....

[The_Jelly]

hey guys! i have a weird one for u...
my windows 7 64bit ultimate works flawlessly over network in regards to gaming, but as soon as i try copying something from a shared folder on another pc, or they try copy something from a shared folder on my pc my windows freezes and im forced to hard reset...

any suggesstions on what the problem could be....

[Slimshaedy]

Can you see the data on the other machine,can you browse through it or can you not access the share? you obviously pinged and the packets were sent and received alright?

[The_Jelly]

I can view the shared folder and all its contents its just as soon as I start copying my pc freezes... I can't understand y?

[Slimshaedy]

That's really odd bro. Copying large files? Did you try copy an image or something small

[Kennyisalive]

is this on any network or just one.. also is this from any PC or also just fom one PC... might be that your PC is not the problem!

[The_Jelly]

Can be 1mb or 50mb still same issue.... And it happens even if I'm connected to one pc via crossover cable also happens over home network and when I go lan...

[Slimshaedy]

So I assume you can't lan? Can the other machine copy stuff from your share?

[The_Jelly]

Nort like I said I can lan fine.... Just can't copy from a pc or they can't copy from me

[Slimshaedy]

I'm stumped! The fact that you can browse through folders over the network,you can lan fine. But you can't copy anything is weird. And I doubt any group policies were configured, and knowing you,you take down the firewall?

[The_Jelly]

Yip firewall is down, and haven't touched any other settings....

[Kennyisalive]

damn.. that is super weird...

[Slimshaedy]

Uh... Driver issue? Boot up is a safe mode with networking and try then,perhaps there's a IRQ clash?? I'm just shooting in the dark here...

[IcePick88]

Are you using the microsoft drivers for the network card or the manufacturers drivers?

Update to the manufacturers drivers and see if that helps?

[The_Jelly]

all drivers are up to date.... and im using the manufacturers drivers.... problem still persists....

Go ahead and copy a file from over the network. The computer will crash, reset and boot back into windows. Go to run and type in event viewer. Look under error events and report back with what you find.

Also go to run and type in msinfo32.exe. Expand Hardware Resources, click on IRQs, and find your ethernet card. Look under status and see if it says OK.

I'm assuming you have an onboard lan and not a peripheral card?
