Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet freezeing every 15 mins

Earlier many reported this problem with win 7 x64 build 7100, now I did a clean install of build 7600 x64 & the problem is now more frequently happening every 15 mins it freezes the comp.

Uploading stops
downloading sometime stops
sound/video freezes
applications stop responding
nothing can be done to the system at that time.

I am using asus P5B dlx wifi mobo with Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet lan drivers latest v 11.10.6.3 dated 6/15/09.
Is there any solution to this I am pulling my hair due to this issue & cant use the comp.

I just realized that I was using the old driver the new driver is out v11.10.7.3 dated 7/20/2009.

Lets see if this solves the problem or not.

20 hrs running with the updated driver, not a single hangup so I conclude that the build 7600 with new driver has solved this bug.

+rep for great self diagnose and self help. Brilliant

Good to know self help works too.
Please report back if it does solve your problem along with windows 7 build number.

I'm running a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium. All I've installed is firefox and imgburn, I've installed the latest Marvel Yukon drivers for my nic and I'm still getting it randomly stopping dead. Troubleshooting / disabling and reenabling the card aren't working. I have to do a full reboot .

i have the same problem and the newest driver didn't solve it. My internet connection freezes, ffox opens google in 3 minutes when marvell ethernet freezes..

any suggestion?

-----------------------------------------------
edit:
i found something on google :

"\bring it up in the device manager. Go to the tab that says "allow this device to be turned off to conserve power" uncheck that.

I have found that that can be an issue at times./"

i guess this may be a solution but i am still waiting for your suggestions...

-----------------------------
edit again:

my above suggestion didn't solve the problem.
the only way that i can bring up my ethernet card from freezing is waiting or changing its mac addresss.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

This thing kills me!

isn't there any suggestions, it always freezes and i can download nothing!

I don't remember what I all tried to get a fix for this. Mainly:
- different drivers including one from Windows XP and Vista
- different NICs (even one from 1999 with an old DEC chip)
- completely disable IPV6 (remove the complete TCP IP stack)
- change the tons of tcpip parameters in the registry
- disable the win firewall
- disab all unnecessary services.msc (barebone Black Viper's Web Site)

Nothing of this worked. All TCP packets going out through the default route (gateway) do not get a SYN ACK back (checked with Wireshark). Funny: UDP traffic is not affected at all and ongoing connections (like downloads in progress) are not halted. It must be something very wrong in the TCPIP stack itself. I think it's not driver releated at all. May be your best bet is change the Switch/Router environment. The problem is known since the win7betas and did not get fixed in the RTM. My hope is not very high to get a fix from M$ before SP1.
