Hi. I tried searching around the net and on here, but couldn't find anything helpful. Hopefully someone on here will have some insight for me. I recently moved to a new house where I can't string a cat5 over to the router, so I went out and bought a wireless card. It's a $20 one, but it works. Ever since then, this computer will reboot itself. It used to happen around 11PM or so, but recently I had reset the router in the middle of the day, and now it is rebooting around 2 PM or so. I have the same card on another computer on another network, and it hasn't had rebooting problems, though for some reason now it doesn't start. I have a Belkin card on my laptop with little issues. It was getting bsod every once in a while, with W2000 and XP. I also have a newer dell with a linksys card that works just fine. My mom has a Dell laptop that is hardwired in, and never has problems. Could this be some type of problem with the router? or possibly with my card? It never happened when I ran a wire (before i got the wireless card). I also had completely formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows (something I like to do every spring) and it still happens. I am using PC-Cillin 2002, and that's the only program I have start up with the computer, except a bandwidth monitor which i have used for years. The computer will restart whether I am playing a game, listening to music, surfing, or if it's just sitting there with no programs open or anything. The brand of the wireless card is called AirNet.
Thanks for your help,
Zach
