That's interesting. I am having the same problem as you, and the only thing issue I've had in my event log was also related to my network adapter. But, I've uninstalled and re-installed those drivers, along with doing lots of other things, and the problem remains. It's driving me crazy.
I just tried that and the problem remains.
I'm starting to get pretty upset. I can't use my computer AT ALL. It will freeze up in games, on the internet, staring at the desktop, typing a document.... I can't pinpoint the cause to anything.
And I've tried to. I tried the RP fixes for freezing...
