The BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) comes up for several reasons.  If it only occurs when you run your pcmcia card then it may be a system resource problem or possibly a memory error causing the problem.  Best bet to try to remedy the situation is to do a re-install of XP with the card in.\nWhen you do this make sure to NOT select to "use the recovery console" Just select to install windows, then it'll find the previous installation and ask if you want to "keep existing files" Select that option and it should work.\nIf the problem persists you may need to get a diferent wireless card or at least check the manufacturers site for any updated drivers/firmware

Make sure your drivers are updated, make sure the CD is clean, make sure the media is good, try another cd, buy a new CD.\n\nSorry, I wish I could be more help.

Yes it sounds like a hardware problem, if not then it could be some sort of virus or bug.  I would do a virus check and a hardware check.  Like run a diagnostic test on your computer to make sure all the hardware is running properly.

your hard disk might have developed some bad sectors, or there is some problem with your file system.\n\nRun a complete scan on your hard disk, it can solve your problem.

couple of ways to see if it is a hardware or a software fault\n\nfirstly boot into safe mode - restart your pc and keep on tapping the f5 or f8 key then select safemode\n\nleave it in this mode for a while - does it shut down ?\n\ncheck your event viewer for any system errors (in the control panel - administrative - then event viewer) click on the system \n\nsee if this gives you any clues\n\nalso try getting into the bios or cmos setup - again leave it in this mode - does it shut down - if so then you definately have a overheating problem\n\nalso check you in you bios to see if you have a hardware monitor option - if so check the cpu, system temp and fan speeds\n\ncome back to us with your results

Go to the site www.geekstogo.com & look to see if they have already resolved this question for someone else. It may be a virus or some other type of issue that has already been addressed\n\nIf not, you can post your problem on the website & someone who is truly computer-savvy will get back to you.\n\nIt has been a wonderful site for me to manage our computers. Lots of good suggestions & ideas on maintenance also! Geekstogo rocks!

Replace the hard drive, if it fixes the problem then you know that they hard drive was messed up, if not, then you got a whole different problem...Good Luck.

#1 - you need to be more specific about what you are trying to do and when, since your problem could come from a hundred different causes, BUT\n#2 - try turning your computer OFF, leave it off for 20 seconds, and turn it back on. Is the problem still there?

Run a Spyware scan, which is probably the number one reason for a slow computer these days.  The Yahoo toolbar has a good one, powered by Pest Patrol.  There are other free ones available at http://www.download.com/  The best two free ones IMO are Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D.\n\nAfter you run one or more of these, also do a virus check, a disk defrag and other tweaks, and you should be back to normal.  If ALL ELSE fails, back up what you can, and reinstall Windows.  If that doesn't work, it's a hardware problem.\n\nGood luck!

Maybe you have been installed some video card drivers lately? Try System Restore.

Check it out with another computer. There  you will come to know, if the problem is in your computer(i.e viruses) or in settings.
