OK, so i've built myself a Frankenstein PC, Asus P5KC, intel Xeon 5470 (LGA 775 mod), 4x2gb Samsung, Aneon, kingston RAM... And now whenever internet traffic goes up, the comp starts freezing, stuttering and grinds to a halt in a day or two... Formated Windows from 8.1 to 10. Tried different NICs, builtin lan, double port PCI, single port PCI, WIFI PCIe, all with the same result. Alll the drivers are "up to date" so the wins say... Intel drivers don't wanna install at all (motherboard officially doesn't even support Win7). Temps are OK, SMART doesn't report any (serious) issues, i'm running F@H and SETI 24/7, no problems. Drpbx starts syncing, YT video, instant freezing...
Yes, throw that junk away, i know, but i like playing with it :)
Tried different cables, got an X99 system right next to it and it has no problems with the network. Will try the USB. But it doesn't solve my problem, i need a fast connection to it, not USB2 XD
Yes, u are correct, they are 20.7.1 for win10, tried everything from 18.3, win XP on, nothing worked... The latest official drivers for the specific dual NIC are 18.4. Vista, they don't work. Can u point me to the right ones?

But like i said tried 3 different ones, with the same result. Also if i disable the builtin one in the BIOS the problem is worse, so it's probably the MB :/
