1129880 2010-08-31 09:01:00 Did you ever try running Memtest? Agent_24 (57)
1129881 2010-08-31 09:09:00 not since the memory was upgraded (or even replaced?) sooby (15023)
1129882 2010-08-31 09:10:00 Try updating the NIC drivers (from the mobo maker's site) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1129883 2010-08-31 09:29:00 Try updating the NIC drivers (from the mobo maker's site)

1129884 2010-08-31 09:40:00 first you have to find out what the brand/model of the mobo is. Either use something like PCwizard. Or open the case and see whats written on it Speedy Gonzales (78)
1129885 2010-08-31 09:51:00 cheers - will give it a whirl sooby (15023)
1129886 2010-08-31 11:08:00 ran PCwizard and this is the entry for mobo (the unspecified part worries me - does that mean finding the right driver will be harder?):

1129887 2010-08-31 11:29:00 I would suggest a different system detection tool like Everest from www.lavalys.com - you can get a free 30 day trial which will be fine. Agent_24 (57)
1129888 2010-09-01 09:23:00 I tied running 'msinfo32' and found this info:
