Windows freezes when saving to network or printing

[Ben]

Hi there
I am hoping somebody can help me with this problem - I have a computer
which is being used by an architect using Autocad.

Sometimes when he prints, or saves items onto the network the computer
freezes and needs to be rebooted.

I have tried
- reinstalling everything
- updating the network driver
- installing the latest autocad service pack
- checking for spyware and viruses
- running a memory check

None of these has had any effect. The problem occurs erratically.

Due to the nature of the work, deadlines are extremely important and
so this is becoming a huge issue.

What other things can I do to try and figure out the problem?

Thanks in advance!

Not using Norton, are you?

Also might want to check this:

-although it more often causes hesitancy or erratic LAN behaviour than
freezing.

Thanks a lot for your help. I am using AVG, not Norton, and it doesn't
seem to be that network power saving issue. I'd really appreciate it
if you have any more ideas?

Is this ONLY within AutoCad? Or any application.

So far it's only been with Autocad.

Is this a new issue where printing has previously worked ? How much
memory does the PC have available ? Does the PC participate in a
Domain ? Checked the integrity of the network share drive(s)?

First thing I'd do (After checking above ) is replace the Network card.
