I never used the onboard network port on my old mainboard.
Now I got an Asus A8V and used the "cool" 1Gbit onboard LAN port/controller - and this (or the driver) seems to cause my freezing trouble!
Yesterday I disabled the onboard LAN port and plugged in a good old, rocksolid 3COM 3C905 PCI network card - and my system is running eMule for 30h now!!
First impression is that there is a problem with the intergrated onboard Marvell network controller, IRQ, DMA handling or with the (MS) driver (update) of it...
So, try to change the network card and see if this changes the freeze behaviour.
Please report your progress...
I can't confirm as yet because I just reinstalled my driver. Looks good so far as I've past my usual 3 hours lock up time . I'm at 4 hours ++ and the system looks stable. I'm able to do multiple things now without my PC freezing on me. I could kiss you DocMarco Will keep you all updated
