Win 7 hangs when eav is connected to erac

I have an issue where win 7 sp1 hangs when eav 4.2.71 is configured to connnect to erac 4.0.138.0

Then once you perform hard shutdown & restart the system it hangs at logon.

The only way to log into the desktop is either by safe mode or disconnecting network cable in normal startup.

I updapted all drivers & added a secound network card, the system replicated the behaviour as mentioned above.

The system motherboard used was Gygabyte GA-880GM-USB3 so I swapped it out for Gygabite 880GM-UD2H and the problem was resolved.

This system build is brand new, I have 2 other systems in the field with the same build doing the exact same thing.

So I am left wondering if there is some compatibility issue with this MLB, or is there something else going on here.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Do you know what the exact NIC used on that board is? The Gigabyte websites says Realtek 8111E, but just want to be sure. Also, what version USB3 drivers do you have installed?

Thx for your response.

When I say I updated all drivers, I should have said the ones that I thought mattered, LAN & chipset.

I looked at the USB3 driver & the system was running 1.0.0.38, so I got the latest driver version 1.0.0.105 & installed.

It seems the problem is solved, WTF....

I know this is loaded question but why is this driver so critical in relation to eset & erac.

Thx for pointing me in the right direction, will post back after I apply driver updates on other affected systems.

I'm not sure why, I do know i've solved quite a lot of support cases with this

 

Applied latest usb3 driver to all affected systems , issues is now resolved.

thx again for your assistance.
