SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario: You are running a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2-based computer. The computer uses a Gigabit Ethernet network adapter. The Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack is installed on the computer. Additionally, the Windows Server 2003 Scalable Networking Pack may have been installed by a tool such as Microsoft Software Update Services (SUS), Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), or Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS).
In this scenario, the computer stops responding when you try to put the computer into the S4 system power state for hibernation.
Note This problem occurs only when you are running a system stress test against the Gigabit Ethernet network adapter. This problem is unlikely to occur outside testing conditions.
CAUSE
The problem occurs because of a race condition that is possible in the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) driver (Ndis.sys).

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
If your hardware came with a Microsoft Windows x64 edition already installed, your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for the Windows x64 edition. In this case, your hardware manufacturer provides support because a Windows x64 edition was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the Windows x64 edition installation by using unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with a Windows x64 edition. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware. If you purchased a Windows x64 edition such as a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 edition separately, contact Microsoft for technical support.
