Wireless Network Card Troubleshooting: Blue Screen of Death

As Wi-Fi hotspots are mushrooming all over the world, they let people have the chance to get rid of those inflexible network cables and surf on the net wirelessly in the WLAN. However, a high-performance wireless internet access is not an easy thing for some users, because when contacting with your wireless network, your wireless network adapter may probably meet a lot of strange failures, which may seriously affect your networking experience if you don't fix them in time, and the blue screen is one that among those common failures.

If blue screen shows on your computer immediately after you installed a wireless network card, above all, you need to check whether the net card driver you installed is compatible with your operating system, for example, if your driver is only available in Windows 2000, but you have installed it in Windows XP, well then your computer would be more likely to have a blue screen. Therefore, make sure you have installed the correct network card driver.

If your driver is compatible with your system and has been installed properly, you need to go through the installation of this network adapter, and check whether it has inserted to the right slot or port properly, for if you pull out the card from its PCMCIA port on the motherboard or its USB port just a few seconds after plugging it, blue screen would lightly happen, because frequent pullout and plug may make network adapter's corresponding port confused and fail to identify this adapter. Additionally, if you pull out your net card suddenly when its LINK light is blinking, that would also leads to blue screen, or even worse, your computer or your network card's port would be damaged.
