Having these random crashes that *might* be linked to the network card.

I'm not the person experiencing these crashes, or at least not anymore. I used to get the same crashes, totally randomly, couldn't switch off my PC unless I pulled it's power from the outlet in the wall. My problem went away after I started using a wired connection to my router, which at the moment, isn't an option for my friend.

He says these crashes occur during any sort of internet activity, whether it be playing multiplayer video games online or just browsing the internet. Sometimes it even occurs when he hovers over a link in his browser without clicking on them.

Very rarely, he will get a message from the system tray saying that the graphics drivers stopped working so it *might* related to the video card.

We changed the network card in hopes that it would stop the random crashes since my suspicions were that the network card was causing the issue. These crashes went away but only temporarily, the fix last about 6 months and the crashes came back.

It's a customer built PC and below is a text file snapshot of the PC in question, hosted on dropbox.

Thanks
