Recently i started working on a friends computer. He has a dell optiplex GX620, running Windows XP sp3. The adapter (DELL WIRELESS 1450) was working great until one day it just stopped receiving the wireless signal of the router. As soon as you turn on the computer it would show that it automatically connects to the router, but after around 10-13 mins of using the internet it stops working and loses the signal. I checked their other computers and they all have wireless signals except for the desktop. Also when that happens and i check the device driver, it says that their is no driver present for the device. How is that possible? It was working fine a minute ago. What ive done so far is uninstalled the driver, reinstalled it, and nothing. I searched for viruses, removed a couple of them that it had, but that didnt solve the problem. i checked the adapters settings, and i couldnt see anything wrong with it. I checked the router settings as well and nothing. The router being used is a linksys WRT54GS, and i didnt see any incorrect settings. Im running out of ideas, i believe wiping the hard drive clean will NOT solve the problem, that is why im troubleshooting it now. Thank you for all your help in advance. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATED
