AMD System Hangs

[caliente]

The dilemma continues...

The problem: Hangs on large file transfers. For example, transfering large files over home ethernet or downloading large files such as mp3 or multimedia from the internet. Doesn't occur during any other operation. Heat does not appear to be an issue. CPU temp is ~46C.

The system: ASUS A7V133, AMD 1.2G@133, 256M Micron SDRAM, Tiasol HSF w/Artic SilverII, Creative Annihilator 32M NVIDIA, 10Mbs Ethernet using Netgear NICs and hub, DSL.

Loaded all the latest drivers from ASUS: BIOS 1005, Promise build 35, VIA 4 in 1. I though it might be the NIC driver and/or card (FA310TX). So I completely uninstalled and removed it and reinstalled with the latest Netgear driver.

Any suggestions? I'm running out of options. :disgust:

Thanks!

Can you get different NIC to try? I think I read about issues with this card. Good luck

I bought a new Netgear card last weekend just in case nothing else worked. Installed it today and so far no problems.

Thanks

Have you got a Creative Labs Soundcard in your system? If so try setting Irq. 5 as a legacy device in the BIOS and letting the sound card sb16 emulation use Irq. 5. Also, don't put the soundcard in PCI slot 4 or 5.

One more thing, ASUS have officially released BIOS 1005A over the last couple of days.

Don't know if this will help, but good luck.
