Re: FN-FORUM: Server dropping network connection

Any event log messages (should be the first port of call for most
windows crashes) ?

Is the network card seated properly?

Was anything else moved whilst installing the drive, check everything is
seated correctly, check cables are plugged in correctly ?

Is there enough power for everything, the new drive might have pushed it
over the limit.
