system hang

[gregrocker]

If you connected two computers via ethernet cable, then a conflict between the two likely created the hang.

This is why a crossover cable is suggested to connect between two machines.

Even when an ethernet cable will work for data transfer between two machines, there are often issues similar to yours as well as networking anomalies that require close management.

Check your Event Viewer and Performance logs at the time to see if errors are revealed which can be remedied to resolve the issue.

It can. Try turning off the WMPNETWK serivce in task manager, or msconfig.

stopping windows media player with networking did not solve the problem. i am getting this log always just before the system hangs..

Vignesh,
Could you post a screenshot of the following;
Click the Start Globe, right click Computer, click properties. Open to full screen. Important to show all the details on that page. I feel we must start with the basics to help you solve this problem.

 

[vignesh]

Use Windows 7 Snipping Tool and choose "Full Screen"

 

[vignesh]

hey i have posted my system properties screen. pls have a look

 

[manhunter2826]

^Seems fine to me

 

[electrotune1200]

Can you go into Device manager, and expand the Network Adapters category?

Like so...

 

[vignesh]

will it because of compatibility problem? i have only 128mb integrated graphic card. since i am using windows 7 ultimate version does it cause problems like this??

 

[vignesh]

here is my device manager...

Hi Vignesh
I see your friend bought you an OEM version of Windows 7 which is a shame because an upgrade fron Vista which I assume you had before is usually only very slightly more expensive than the OEM version.
OEM carries certain conditions among them this (quoted from a software Microsoft Partner:

Please note: This OEM software is intended for system builders only and cannot be transferred to another PC once it is installed. The purchaser of this software is required to comply with the terms of the System Builder license, including the responsibility of providing all end-user support for the software.

This may or may not be part of your problem. Unfortunately you do not have Microsoft support as you would with an upgrade so unless any other members can come up with a better solution I can only suggest that you do a clean install. That's about the limit of my knowledge I'm afraid.
Good luck anyway

Is your computer by any chance an HP?

I would try re-installing your realtek PCI-E ethernet driver.

After doing a quick google search, I see those drivers on HP's driver support pages.

 

[vignesh]

sorry mine is not HP. my motherboard is MSI

 

[CarlTR6]

Have you activated/validated your copy of Windows on your computer?

 

[vignesh]

i have done a clean install, because i had no other option. it seems to be working fine for now. but i feel anytime i may get the problem.

 

[electrotune1200]

Sometimes a clean installation takes less time than figuring out a problem. Run Windows Updates to get everything up to date... Now make an image of your drive. Now you have a clean installation to fall back on in case of an emergency. Restoring from an image will have you back to a clean installation in 10 minutes.

Here's a useful tutorial on how to image your hard drive
