Freezing/shutdown problem when transfer files

[Toastytoy]

Hello. My HTPC has a 2 TB drive for backing up media from my main computer. Whenever i begin copying data from the main computer over the home network onto the 2TB drive, about 5-15 mins later, the computer freezes for about 20 seconds and then turns off.

The problem is not heat/ventilation related, and i have tried two different PSUs and various ram configurations. This does NOT happen when the HTPC is in safe mode, and i currently have a fresh virgin installation of windows with only the motherboard drivers installed. Both PCs are running Windows 7 64 Home premium.


Please help i am so bewildered.


Thanks

What NAS are you using? What router do you have? Are you doing this over a wired or wireless network?

 

[Toastytoy]

No nas, just a 2TB drive connected to the HTPC and a

D-Link DGL-4100 10/100/1000Mbps GamerLounge Broadband Gigabit Gaming Router

conecting both computers. I am just sharing the files with windows.

Which computer freezes and shuts down? Have you checked the system logs to see what happened?

 

[Toastytoy]

The computer that frrezes and shuts down is the HTPC which is writing files to a 2TB drive that i planned to use only as back up. The files are coming the shared folders from my main pc.

I have looked at the event logs but im afraid i can't make heads nor tails of it. If you could intruct me what to look for i would be more than happy to..


Thanks

OK strange little twist, the computer also randomly turns off by itself when i am not transferring files over the network. However i can't seem to pin point what triggers it. It will ALWAYS shut down after a few mins (5-15) of transferring a file over the network. I ran prime95 for two hours today and that had no ill effect..... I am really pulling my hair out with this.
