Arrow Help: Wireless Cards Crash My PC!

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?

Re: Help: Wireless Cards Crash My PC!

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

Re: Help: Wireless Cards Crash My PC!

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.
