It might be a virus that's hitting your box from somewhere else. I have not seen this (I'm on XP64). I did have this problem once on regular XP... finally turned out to be a processor overheating because the fan was failing in an undetectable way.

just to be sure its not a funky CPU issue, make sure you ahve the AMD driver installed.

Also make sure you ahve the absolute latest motherboard and onboard NIC drivers installed.

And it definitly only happens when using max on a network file?

I'd like to point out that that driver is for Athlon 64 chips, not Opterons.

*** Edit ****

Hmmmm... apparently AMD's site says its for Opterons, even though the installer says "Athlon 64 Processor Driver"

Have you checked your event log? You might find some suspicious entries prior to each system freeze... if so, I have had a similar problem.

Unfortunately I've not found a solution. In my case, the problem seems to occur due to having local drives mapped as network drives.

Maybe you have the same problem.... maybe not,

True Story

Thanks guys, trying a few things, looks like it happens outside of MAX as well. Checking trying things now. Tried some things Juju had posted did not work though, not running NetBios and have host files updated.
It is weird, and annoying.

A complete system freeze? I don't think that's network related. If it is a complete freeze, then it sounds like a memory issue. Ren memcheck or the memory tester from the Microsoft website:
