Just an experience I had with the H87N WiFi. I'm running Mavericks (10.9.3) and ever since installing Mavericks I was getting these freezes as well. I had tried 3-4 different drivers for the ethernet ports but always had freezes within week or sometimes only a day or an hour. It would knock out my whole network until I restarted the computer. After pulling my hair out for months now I finally figure it out.
I downloaded Memtest 4.23 and it only ran about 1 minute before the machine froze. I would get red horizontal lines on the display as well. I tested it several times to be sure. After replacing the memory it's running as well as the Mac Mini or the Mac pro I have. Fast and rock solid.
The memory I was using was defective (G.Skill RipJaws F3-12800CL8D) 2x 4Gb Sticks. One or both were bad. I had some new G.Skill of the same and after installing that I have no problems whatsoever. (Profile 1-1600Mhz) I am using the AppleIntelE1000e v2.5.4d driver on the i217v port (Port Closest to the Audio Ports) with the Atheros port turned off in bios.
I am using the Hack as a server. (10.9.3) and now it has been running for days without one hiccup. The file transfers are faster as well. Boots up faster and shuts down faster too! It just feels like a solid machine once again!!!
All this time I thought it was the AppleIntelE1000 drivers. I installed TechTool Pro 7.0.4 and ran a Memory test for about 8 hours to be sure.
I had these same sticks of memory installed on a GA-H77N WiFi board in this same chassis before this and it never worked very well either, I always thought it was the ethernet drivers then as well.
Hope this might help someone!
Cheers!!!
