Windows 7 will freeze when browsing the internet

[pez]

Hello, i have the same problem here, i have been looking all over the web and no issue yet . As FVampir did i'm also thinking about a hardware problem, abit is dead i guess and there is no driver update available.

I run the RC 7600 on a abit ab9 pro (never flashed my bios, the mobo is from 2006), e6600, radeon 4870 and 4x1gb corsair value ram.

The pc usually freeze when I am browing web just like FVampir but it remains quite "stable" when there is not much loading like listening music, browsing the explorer etc...

Starting to think that buying a new motherboard is the only solution for running win 7

Hi pez - Welcome to w7forums

I started a new thread with your problem as the other thread was 6 months old.

Did you perform a clean install or upgrade?

Hello clifford_cooley, I did a clean install of course . I have to mention there was problems during the installation, at first it was freezing at "completing installation". I looked over the web for this prob, and managed to complete sucessfully the installation by disconnecting my sata drives and unplugged 2 of 4 ram sticks.

Once the installation completed i tried to run it like that, but no matter the configuration it still crashes.

Yesterday it was running fine for listening music/watching films, but once i went surfing on internet it crashed.

About the drivers i used the latest jmicron36X (otherwise drives wouldn't be detected for installation) and updated the realtek audio driver . I should look for realtek ethernet drivers too...

You could look in the bios to make sure Plug and Play OS is set to yes.

I forgot to mention the error reported in the event viewer:

kernel-power
event id 41
task category 63
keywords 2
etc...

Seems like i'm not alone with that one !
