Wireless Network Card Troubleshooting: Computer Crashes

As the technology advances, now many devices can support hot plug, such as USB devices and 1394 devices. However, essentially, most hardware operations should be completed after the power supply is cut off, otherwise it may cause computer crashes or even the permanent damage to the hardware.

Sometimes computer may go dead if the wireless network card is pulled out suddenly from its related port. This failure occurs in a relatively high frequency. The reason why this failure happens is that many PC users think this wireless network card’s USB port or PCMCIA port supports hot plug, and it can plug and play. Actually, they take this plug-and-play function as random plug and few of them know that this wireless NIC card should not be plugged when working, for it is not only easy to hurt the card and its corresponding computer interface, but also likely to cause system crashes.

If Your Computer freezes up because of wireless network adapter plug, firstly, you need to confirm whether you have performed this action when the card is working, if so, you have to restart your computer.

In addition, in order to avoid this error, you’d better stop processes like information transmission and it’s best to disable your wireless network adapter in Device Manager before pulling out it.

Step 1 Click Start and select Control Panel.

Step 2 Double-click System to open the System Properties sheet.

Step 3 Click Hardware and choose Device Manager.

Step 4 Right-click the Network adapters and look at its properties.

Step 5 Disable and plug this card.
