    Really wierd connection issue

    Well, I figured screw it now, I have a pair of 512MB modules that I can use until a replacement pair of Mushkin DDR2 800s get in tomorrow. Thanks anyway.

    Really wierd connection issue

    Which one do I download and how do I run it? Is it just an EXE that can open with Windows booted like what I tried?

    Really wierd connection issue

    Could you give a direct download link to your version? I'll try it.

    Really wierd connection issue

    I did actually run 2 instances of that simultaneously, doing 400MB of RAM for each instance. I let the tests go for about 15 minutes, remained stable to my great surprise. I'll see how things are with 500 for each for longer. Edit; Ran 3 instances for about 2 hours. If it's a memory issue...

    Really wierd connection issue

    Won't the BSOD just tell me (in another way) the same thing that the error log does? Edit: AGH! BSOD just now... "BAD_POOL_CALLER STOP: 0x000000E2 (0x00000007, 0x00000CD4, 0x02060001, 0x884ED7A0)" another Edit; it just crashed again, this time it's as so; "BAD_POOL_CALLER STOP: 0x000000C2...

    Really wierd connection issue

    Ugh, sorry for the double-post, but now I've got a new, unrelated issue and didn't want to make a new topic; if I try to run Windows Live Messenger, the ENTIRE MACHINE will spontaneously freeze for 2 seconds then reboot itself. Looking at the system event viewer, the following error keeps...

    Really wierd connection issue

    Yes, I've tried disabling it. No effect. KAV didn't have a firewall so I wouldn't think that to be the problem. Good idea.

    Really wierd connection issue

    I might just try that, then, but I doubt it'd help my situation. EDIT: Wow, I really never could have guessed Kaspersky was the cause. After I uninstalled the older version and went to download the newer version, I noticed everything behaves normally. YouTube streams function properly, multiple...

    Really wierd connection issue

    7.0.0.125, which I've used since the build (I've heard that the newer 7.0.1.321 version has some ugly issues, right now I won't deal with them and will just stick to something that's worked great for as long as I can remember). The only customizing I've done with it are with how thoroughly it...

    Really wierd connection issue

    I ran registry cleanups with both programs and rebooted. Neither cleanup really had any effect.

    Really wierd connection issue

    I had cleared that out as a possibility in my first post. The problems arose while I still had SP2, and I updated my network drivers about 2 weeks ago (there are newer ones available but I can't find a download), which didn't fix them. There also hasn't been a new chipset driver release since...

    Really wierd connection issue

    Yes, I have a fairly complete security setup in place and just ran a deep sweep with all my anti-crapware apps last night. Nothing significant was picked up by any of them (which includes 4 different spyware scanners, an anti-rootkit scanner, and Kaspersky Antivirus). I haven't had any problems...

    Really wierd connection issue

    There aren't any problems with the connection itself (aside from the occasional CRC and RS FEC errors in the DSL network, but those only started in January when we got hit with tons of snow, but that didn't really affect anything as far as downloading or uploading or even playing games goes...

    Really wierd connection issue

    Bump... does anyone have any ideas here? I've also noticed a strange issue with Newegg on Firefox; it won't load more than 2 pages/tabs of the site at a time. It simply sits with the loading bar at half-way, with just a dark blank page, then about 3 minutes later it'll load all the pages at once...

    Really wierd connection issue

    I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem. Every time I download or stream something, ANYTHING, it starts downloading the object directly to cache and doesn't allow access until it's downloaded about 6-8MB worth of whatever it's doing (if it's smaller than that then it'll wait until...
