I could confirm that enough free space is available in c:

Why I am thinking it is network related is, other workstations on the same
network as mine also facing the similar issue.

If I do select * from <an application table>, just hangs but If I do select
query on the first 27 columns of the same table it returns records. Also
select * from <an application table> where empid=1, will retrieve data as
there is single record involved, there by less amount of data.

Really strange.

Thanks.
