G73SW-A1 LAN issue

First off hats off to forum members as i have been searching through this site for the last week. There is some great info on here.

Now to the issue at hand..

I recently got my new G73SW and right off the get go i removed one of the SHD for a true SSD (intel X25-m 160GB).

Reloading the software was another whole issue... Man Learning UEFI sucked..

Anyways, the system runs great and with no stability issues, UNTIL i try to transfer infromation to my NAS. You see i'm overseas and manage a 14TB media drive for the 60 + residents here... Since I manage the NAS, i am constantly moving large folders that are 1-50GB's.
My problem is that the file transfer starts off ok (slower than my 3 year old Lenovo) and steadily increases speed..until i get the BSOD.

I have been all over the net updating drivers for the chipset, MEI, bios, LAN, Firmware on the SSD, you name it. no matter what i do the system crashes.
NOW if i access the NAS through WIFI, the system seems to be more stable. of course i get transfer rates of 3-5MB/s as opposed to 80-100MB/s using the gigabit LAN..

Any ideas? i have turned on/off file indexing, prefetch on/off, superfetch on/ off, Reloaded 3 different lan drivers i found, updated MEI (i found a event log record the system having an issue with this driver)... Yes the cable is good , tried new lan cables, basically i'm out of ideas..

I have read of WIN 7 64bit running slower on file transfer, well i believe it.. My 3 year old lenovo moves files with a fury, this ASUS moves at glacier pace and then stops.

If someone, more informed, could point me in the correct direction, i would be in thier debt..

AT this moment i just recovered an encrypted share folder, after having it down for a week, with the thought of losing 15 years worth of photos, so i am trying to move this information to one of the spare SHD i have from this computer. the transfer SLOW going to say the least.

 

You could check that their LAN settings are identical, Jumbo frames match, maybe turn on/off any handshaking.

 

Well less than 24 hours after posting this i found the SOlution, Windows Vista came to the rescue...

If you have LAN issues with your G73SW version, use the latest Vista drivers for the Realtek Family GBE controller...

I just moved 200+GB without an issue...

BTW i tried 3 more drivers for various LAN controllers before finding this..

 

I moved 180GB last night on the stock drivers. :shrugs: 40MB/s avg transfer rate with 9KB Jumbo Frames enabled. Still gotta tweak this, or I'm getting a bottleneck on the HDD.

:EDIT: Upgraded the XT's to SD25...

 

i tried and tried..... it never worked for me..

i couldn't find anything that showed the issue, but it works now. i'm leaving it alone...

On the average from SHD to NAS i can get 55-60MB/s. From the SSD to NAS, i can get 115MB/s or so. writing isn't much slower...

I'm happy with this, it makes my life alot easier... i transfered 300+gb of data and it took a while but it worked. My biggest issue were the files being transfered were all small PDF's, doc's, etc... not media like normal.
