Crashing due to wifi/videocard problems.
So i decided to upgrade from windows XP after years and loving it but the old layout was a bit ugly. so lots of people have been saying windows 7 was great and i tried it out for a bit and decided to go upgrade. ive had it for almost 5 months and have gotten the "BSOD" 3 times so far, i can deal with it once in a while. but i LOVE windows 7 by far the best OS i have tried since windows 95, responds well and thank god they re-made the explorer.exe but i have a problem.
this month has been hell on earth for windows 7, every time i start certain games up or am on the computer for too long the screen will freeze up and crash. so i have narrowed it down to 2 items.
1: My video card, it tends to crash in 1 game only and only this game but it is my most played game so i would like to have this fixed.
2: My wifi card, every time the computer crashes the wifi card will show no LED lights when i reboot and will hang on the reboot so i will have to unplug the wifi card restart the computer then plug the card back in.
now the wifi card is not the best it tends to lose connection and shit off if bumped the wrong way but has anyone had these problems and knows how they have fixed it. at the moment i run fine with just itunes and firefox open and some chat programs and other games (Left 4 dead, combat arms, NFS, Garry's mod)
So can anyone help would getting a new WIFI card help? i do not have enough money to get a good enough video card now but i will be upgrading soon enough.
