    Welcome to windrivers sox and ouch!

    First check in the event viewer and turn off automatically restart on error (right click my computer, properties, advanced, startup and recovery)

    could be an issue in bios - flash at your own risk!


    Try the realtek reference drivers for your Realtek 8110S Gigabit LAN controller from here

    Otherwise turn off the onboard nic and get a known good pci nic and get your updates with that.... then play with the gigabit afterwards.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
