Windows freezing and no wifi card
Hi all,
I seem to have two major problems. Windows freezing randomly and no internet access via either WIFI card. I have windows 7 64bit home premium installed, on my own custom system:
Motherboard:
Manufacturer ASUSTeK Computer INC.
Model CROSSHAIR
Version 1.XX
CPU AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6400+
Cpu Socket Socket AM2 (940)
BIOS Version ASUS CROSSHAIR ACPI BIOS Revision 0904
BIOS Date 11/07/2007
CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+
Memory:
DDR2 (pc2-6400) x4
Graphics card:
gfORCE9600gt CLUB3D GRAPHICS CARD
WIFI cards:
Linksys WMP300N
also
Sweex LW057
So far i've installed the latest nforce and display drivers from Nvidia, the SoundMax, SilcomImage sata drivers from the ASUS support website, mostly in compatablility mode as they haven't created win7 versions yet for download. I downloaded the hotfixfile on the sticky post above, after reading the article, it seemed to be exactly what i was going through. But the file i got said it wasn't for my system. (?) Still i am getting random freezes, its not just when i run and 3d accelerated apps, i haven't been able to install any.
The other problem is i can connect to download any of the updates or fixes that have been released so far. I have two different wifi cards: the linksys WMP300N and the LW057. I've installed the WMP300N and the drivers work, it registers the card and available networks, but when it try to connect it always freezes without fail. I've been checking up on this and it seems to be a common problem with the card. but haven't found a solution yet.
The other SWEEX LW057, i used the drivers from the install cd, but they were only up to XP. But i've just found vista drivers while writhing this and i'm going to try them now.
Anyway... if anyone has any suggestions i'd appricate it, i've been trying for 6 days now. Thanks in advance.
