Help: Wireless Cards Crash My PC!

[Chaky]

Heres a good one from a friend of mine

I recently gave him an old PC as a favour so his girlfriend could study while he worked on his own PC. I had always had trouble with the machine crashing and made this known to him when he took it. He installed a new HD and some new memory and it seemed to wrok great.

Trouble is now he is setting up her new machine to run on thehome wireless network by installing a card into the PC, but the PC does nothing but crash with the card in. Remove the card and all is fine again.

Can anyone suggest anything?

well, i can only think of a handful of things, either another vista woe that will be patched later on (if it runs on vista) or... well ok my ideas are kinda limited. best solution i can think of is reinstall the drivers for it or maybe try windows update. if that doesn't work i guess it's something up with the hard drive or something

Return the wireless card and grab another. If it happens again, wipe and reload the OS. If it happens yet again, get a new motherboard.
