NIC Card Problems

[Monkey With a Gun]

My built in NIC card likes to crap out when im downloading torrents and anything else really. It plays online games fine, and it flies around the internet. Just for some reason it craps out if im downloading anything,and only a computer restart brings it back to life.

Ive updated the drivers and tried plugging right into my modem. Nothing has helped. Maybe there is a setting or something i dont know about.

That doesn't sound like a network card problem, it sounds like a AV, firewall, or AS prog problem

AV? AS? little confused

AV = antivirus

AS = antispyware

Spybot search and distroy

You really should have 4 things protecting your computer, often they can come in suites, anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-adware, and a firewall.

Anyways I dont get your problem, you get slow internet when downloading things, but gameing and browsing are all downloading to, Gaming will use 30kb/s up and 30kb/s down constantly, or enough to max out a 56k modem. Surfing, with websites the way they are now, up to 1Mb a damn page, sometimes more, youtube, depending on what your watching anywhere from 300kb/s to 6Mb/s. So I cant see how this is just a problem when "downloading"

im using Vuze as my torrent downloader. For whatever reason i can game and surf all i want, but the moment i go to download something with it, inside 5-10 mins if im lucky my network card goes kaput. After that, no gaming, no surfing, no nothing till i restart my computer. I dont know, maybe my computer doesnt like vuze. But i have had issues with larg downloads from websites (in the gig region). Thank god that website saved where you were in the download cause i had to restart 4 times to finish.

vuze is retarded beyond belief, but azeurus kicks ass

OK you need to more specific then "Craps out?"
Secondly needs answers like whats your processor stress (precentage usage), memory usage, and network usage when it "Craps out" all can be found it task manager. This way figure if its really hardware related or software.

and agreed, never heard of NIC freezeing a pc to forcing a computer to restart
