computer hangs

[Ankit Agrawal]

hi friends....
I hav got problem with my internet, as soon as I start my modem my computer ( operating system XP) hangs , It works fine when modem is not on, I hav checked modem on other's PCs and 100% sure it's not problem with modem or LAN as I hav tried other HDD on my PC. So in my opinion it's problem with my new HDD (80 GB). Sometimes it works fine with modem on sometimes not , what exactly the problem is ?????... as I hav to convince while replacing my HDD...

U said thay u system hanged as soon as it is connected to internet.I will suggest u to do full scan with two updated antispyware n one gud updated antivirus.Than d a online scaning at www.bitdefender.com

drivers are ok? try removing the modem from device manager and then turn on the modem. See if windows reinstalls it and works ok.

Hey you need to update ur system driver and all update in ur system are required.so do the update in ur system and and also if problem still occurs then check out ur hDD and replace that with new one but remember to update ur Motherboard and driver.

If your PC is working fine for all other purposes I don't think there is any problem with your HDD...it is more likely that either you have not installed the correct driver or the driver is corrupt. Follow what ilugd suggested first. But if your PC hangs while running other programs (with the modem NOT being connected) than you can say that your HDD has the problem.
