My PC reboots when I transfer files to it from the network!

I just build a new PC from some new/old parts(366mhz AMD k6-2, 32mb 72 pin RAM (non EDO), Soyo Mobo with built in graphics (2mb shared) and sound, 10/100 Realtech NIC) and I am running Win ME and it is giving me the oddest errors. It will reboot when I try to send files of any decent size to it (like over 10mb). If it does not reboot it gives me an error that says "an unknown error has occurred". Anyone ever experience this before?

PS - My PC's connect via a 10/100 auto sensing switch/router by Linksys.

What are the settings of the NIC - ie. What protocol are you using, and what are your speed/duplex settings? Are they the same as the other card? Try setting both to 100/half duplex.

Someone earlier had the same problem. It turned out to be the motherboard. It was an abit kt7a.

Had a problem with a couple soyo boards, I would suspect the NIC on this one, if possible try swapping the cards https://forums.windrivers.com/

Well, i tried changing the nic's settings so that it was at 10 full/half 100 full/half and nothing worked.

The CD burner was giving errors for every cd. FDISKed it and put 95 version c on it and it doesn't boot at all now.

I'm beginning to think is hardware based...
