powelly · 2 Feb 2011 at 17:05

so basically my friend keeps getting bsod from his wifi card, i know this because when he has it plugged in he gets it and dosn't get it when its not plugged in, even if the modem is turned off and hes wifi card is still plugged in he gets bsod, its something like this BSOD Driver_IRQL_not_less_or_equal

help would be nice :cool:

Yes I had this problem with my ram. The card is faulty.

powelly · 2 Feb 2011 at 17:09

anuraj · 2 Feb 2011 at 17:14

Yes probably. Have you tried it in another slot?

anuraj · 2 Feb 2011 at 17:33

Try it on there but if you get a bsod the card is probably faulty.

huh that seems odd, but i know for sure that its his network card? also may i add he has had it in for a while now without problems but now he gets bsod from it, but only when its in, and for the irq thing, are you sure thats right it's irql, i dont know if they l makes it anything different tho?

tried his network card in my mobo, no cigar.
i have come to the conclusion that it is either broken or driver problems, i will have to see once he gets the drivers installed as he used windows 7 drivers

What card has he got?
