Some Background: I have tested out this system with prime and memtest and they all report no errors after hours of testing. The system is fine and I haven’t had any problems recently when gaming and doing other work. The system has only been up and running for about a week at the high over clock speeds you see in my sig but the system has been running stable for about 4 months prior.
The Problem: Yesterday I formatted my laptop and put on Win XP Pro on it. Its a Presario 1500T P4 2Ghz with 1GB ram. Everything installed fine and I updated the system will all the patches and updates as needed. Now I have a copy of my MP3 collections that is approximately 5GB on my main system. I selected my main systems mp3 directory from my laptop and copied and pasted the folder where I wanted it. So now the files are copying but after about a min of copying my main system locks up, no error message no bluescreen, just a complete freeze and I have to restart. I wish there was an error message because that would give me something to go on but there’s nothing and this is not the first time I have copied the entire directory. I have done it before with my old system when I first got my laptop and didn’t have any problems. The old system used the same network card switch and of course same laptop. The old system had a PCI Clock of 37.5Mhz so I don’t think that is the problem since the PCI speed is at 36Mhz right now. The network card I am using is a linksys 10/100 card and the switch is a linksys 10/100 router/ 5port switch; I forget what the laptop's card is but its some generic one.
Any help is greatly appreciated; thank you in advance for any help.
