My PC freezes in certain occasions which almost always have something to do with network. For example when connecting to a VPN or DSL or when Kerio client connects to server.

Whats wrong?

PC specs:

win 7
AMD athlon x2 5600
2GB 886 ddr 2
3 hard disks

Here are some possible things that can cause it. But first of all, please check your network settings and make sure they are correct.

  • Network driver problem. In that case updating driver may help you. Or if it started to happen after update then rolling back the driver will help.
  • Software problem. Some software (e.g. network monitors, tools) can install drivers, change network settings. It can cause the same problem especially if that driver is not compatible with your hardware. In this case removing that software will help you.
  • Malware problem. For example - a malware with BitCoin miner, bruteforce and so on. When you connect to network, it starts mining bitcoin and uses your CPU intensively, thus making computer slower. Scan your computer for malware using strong antiviruses.
