8790 / Wireless network card issue?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Greetings all,
I've had my 8790/Hypersonic GX7 for over a year now without one problem. For some reason just today when I tried my Netgear wireless PC card adapter it works for a few minutes then locks up the laptop... The only way to recover is by forcing a shut-down and rebooting. I tried reloading drivers, using the windows adapter configurator etc., even performing a restore to back when it worked fine.... I haven't changed any configurations or added new programs for months.. At first I thought it might be due to a recent XP "hotfix" but removing those did not help.
Sometimes inserting the adapter does nothing, IE as if drivers weren't installed. Other times it works for a matter of minutes then locks....???

Any suggestions or words of wisdom?? Everything else works flawless including internet access via the NIC...

Thanks in advance

Had to respond to my own thread... OK, this just in,,,, now it actually worked for about 30 seconds then froze and rebooted itself....?? After the reboot it was like the card wasn't even installed?? I popped the card out, rebooted again, slid the card in and it recognizes it, then freezes...

Quite strange given both the laptop and Netgear PC Card have worked flawlessly for a year....

Any thoughts??
