Hi, I have just set up my computer to connect to my University's network and have found that after installation of a new PCI network card and drivers and other configuration things my system keeps hanging at seemingly random times and I also cannot access my folders from the desktop. I can't even open My Computer. However, I can open utilities such as internet explorer and outlook. I may have touched the network card against the motherboard when installing it or even knocked bits and bobs on it slightly, would this cause such a problem? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Harry

If you're having problem with network, please go to Network forum (see the left channel) for good answers. ::praetorians::

Try defraging your comp...this fixes mostly any thing...If you need help with this go to www.defrag.tk. When you say you nocked off bits and bobs , can you be more discriptive? If you nocked a major componet loose you can fry your mother board. I dont think that happened because your computer turns on.
