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?  |

Seriously though, try another network card first.

Re: Help: Wireless Cards Crash My PC!
If you look at the error messages that windows gives they tell you what the problem is goto event veiwer in admin tools, control panel and see the errors usually they are driver related or uninstall the software and reinstall it.

Re: Help: Wireless Cards Crash My PC!
It's crashing, because the PC is probably too old for a wireless card. Maybe the motherboard isn't compatible with it. I suggest you should go back to the store and ask for a replacement or for some tips. Try an other card. If it will crash again, then you need yo buy a new computer.
