Can't be it CPU unless the CPU is rammed to 100% and locks everything up. When it goes wrong what is your CPU usage in total and what processes are taking the PCU time up?
VSMON? Are you sure your firewall hasn't fouled up? Zone Alarm has been known to cause strange issues when it goes wrong. You could try telling it not to load at windows start up, turn on the Windows Firewall if running XP and then see what happens.
Also make sure your windows auto updates aren't hogging the bandwidth as alluded to by the Punkster
