I am glad to see you found out the problem.Never would have figured that your PCI network card was causing you to crash.

I figured it out finally. it was a PCI card that I was using. A netgear 10/100 base Netowork Card to be exact. I tried other netgears and I have the same problem. I am yet to try a different brand NIC
THanks for the help

Yep, I've had problems with Netgear cards lately.
