Hi
This problem started suddenly, not over time. The computer will run fine
doing anything else except accessing other computers or the web. So anything
to do with networking. Once you open say, a browser, maybe get to a site or
two, the computer completely freezes up. Accessing another computer on my
network has the same results. No BSOD or the like, just a solid freeze. I
ran three different spyware programs with no problems detected and two
different virus programs with no problems detected. Finally I performed HP's
"full restore" (Hidden Partition type not disks), formatting the HD etc.
Same problem with freezing up.
The computer is an HP Pavilion XT983, AMD 1.4ghz, 512mb ram, with an
onboard Realteck RTL8139. MB is Trigem. I also tried disabling the NIC in
Hardware profiles, and installing a known good NIC, but with the same
results. At this point I'm thinking hardware failure of some sort.
Any Ideas?
Thanks Keith
