Help! My Wireless adapter is Freezing my computer!

by lauren.robertson . Updated 18 years, 1 month ago

Hi,

I really need some help, i have been looking all over the net for answers to my problem with no luck!

My computer has just started randomly freezing (about a week ago) it is only a year old and has never done this before. It is totally odd, it will just freeze at any point.

I have sent it to see a technician, and he cant see any problems (ie, hardware or virus), the freezing only happens when i connect my computer using my Broadcom wireless adapter to the internet.

We have recently changed our router (D-link), which works fine (my computer is the only one affected by this) I just dont understand this, as it worked fine on our old router.

Why is this happening, i have routed out all other options the problem must be with the router or the wireless adapter.

My Computer stats are:
Acer Aspire 9301
Windows XP Media Center
Broadcom Wireless adapter 802.11b/g (which came installed in the computer)
D-link DIR-635 wireless router

Hope somebody can help,

Thanks
