Resource Monitor - system becomes unresponsive /netowkr

I loved watching him on David Letterman Dave was always spraying a fire extinguisher on him I have had great luck with Vista Ultimate other than if I open the Resource Monitor it begins to show data, but then my system become unresponsive. My mouse cursor works, and an altctrldel after about 60 seconds responds to the input and I can stop the task and my system works again.I did notice that the network utilization showed what looked like an overflow: 212312412421% (this is not exactly what it reported, but it looked like an overflow issue)I also noticed in the normal view for network utilization it oscillates form 0% 100% continuously. I suppose I'll see about reinstalling the network drivers from my ABIT mobo. (Av83rd eye)any other suggestions?
