Title: [Request Assistance] Repeating Unknown Crash at Startup
Post by: aleyshark on July 06, 2008, 09:07:26 AM

Every time my laptop is connected to any network using the integrated wireless device, sooner or later my computer will crash, even as soon as connected to a network at fresh start up.

Right now I'm using external wireless device from PCMIA card slot.

I apologize if this thread is posted on the wrong section. I'm not sure where the problem is so I assume it originates from my original built-in wireless device.

I request your help to solve this problem.

Thanks you

What Operating System are you using?

How long has this been happening?

Did you do anything before this? (install, download, ect...)

Windows XP sp2
About 3 days
As far as I can remember,
I did alot of customization since last month using Tune Up 2008 and Customization. A few weeks ago my computer has just been cleaned up totally after being attacked with viruses and trojans.

The strange part is, I reformat the drives, and hence the windows. But then my computer crash right on startup after drivers installation. Only when I turned off my wireless device it shows no problem.

If this problem only happens when you have the wireless turned on, I would try reinstalling the drivers.

Tried, but it seems something's wrong with the Driver CD, any idea where can I download the drivers?

You will need to go to the manufacturer's website and look for the model.

It's surprising how many Laptops get a problem with the power plug, ( The socket where the transformer plugs into ).
It seems to be a common fault.
This might have no connection to your fault but keep an eye on it.
