I have the NVIDIA GeForce 6100 integrated....I found a Vista driver for it, installed that, and so far, no more freezing...
Keep in mind I just installed the driver this morning, but so far so good. (I should have noticed something by now.)
HTH
As I see through all the thread, everyone has a different solution applying to the same kind of problem. For the ones who haven't fixed it yet, keep an eye (if possible) on the updates and the action center. Mine showed up an update about the uGuru power manager but i'm very afraid of installing it (by no means I don't want the freezing issues back)
Does anyone else have NVSVC running as a service? I just looked in event viewer, and NVSTOR32 keeps issuing a warning about a nonexistent RAID configuration.
Needless to say, I disabled NVSVC. I'll report back later.
Not me; try also disabling ip-helper service (someone may have already told this before but nevermind!)
I have read the forum topic and many of the supposed suggestions are not valid. I have the same issues with a new PC which came with Vista installed and the seven upgrade offer when released. I have hadthe PC for about 4 months and had no problems on the network with either my old PC or the new one.
Once I received the update disc and installed windows 7, all compters on the network ghave the same issue when browsing, so its something affecting the netwotrk and not a particular computer.
I have went out and bought the newest router that supported windows 7. I have had my ISP trouble shooting and they even made a service appointment and checked my system, and could ot find the problem. They even assigned me a new IP address and changed the router settings to this address and still no luck.
I have disabled the windows firewall on both computers to insure there is no firewall issues with two running and no luck.
And yes people this was a clean install of windows 7 with no junk added on. Yes I have the new drivers installed for the new router just purchased two weeks ago, and yes all computers on the network connected to the router have the same issues which they never had before.
It appears to be some security issue as i notices the freezes seem to happen when the web site advertising is tryng to load when i watch the progess bar at bottom of browser screen.
I forgot mto mention that I too have tried all three browsers, since I typically used firefox and IE and thought they may not be compatible. I then downloaded the windows 7 compatible(64bit) version of chrome and same thing happens with all three browsers an all computers on the network.
Microsoft needs to come up with a solution for this as its very annoying and frustrating, and in my case costly as well as had to take time of work to have my ISP appointment.
The other computer on the network, that now has the exact same problem is running the windows XP os and used to be my main computer and never had this problem either evn when I was running VISTA on my new computer.
So it is obviously something in windows 7 the effects the entire network by somehow controlling the router the computers are networked to.
And as someone else reported these freezes seem to only last about 2 minutes at a time then everything works great until the next interval, and its on both computers.
So its not a graphics driver issue or a driver issue, as I do not think all f us having this issue are using the same computers with the same settings and we all niracously have the same faulty drivers installed. As I stated I purchased the only router that stated on the box it was windows 7 compatible and paid a hefty price of 130.00 for it to be certain that was not the issue. And made sure i installed it before the service tech came to my home to avoid an unnecessary service call.

MY issue seems to involve the NVSTOR service/process....I searched the internet and upgraded the Nvidia ATA controller driver...we'll see...
The reason MY system was freezing was (is) a RAID warning from Nvidia...(found thru Event Viewer)...
We''ll see...
