Hi whyme6181, welcome to 7F! :)

Your .dmp points to the Playstation (PS) DS_3 Tool.exe driver, and it is having problems with one of the .NET Framework's you have on your machine, it's not being specific.

But before we get too far. What type of router do you have for wi-fi, and are you familiar with going into it and checking its settings?

You stated:

After this my wireless network card would see my network but would not connect to it. I can connect to it wired,

I had a problem like this a while ago and I had to go into my device, (in your case the controller or maybe the main PS unit) and re-enter the Security Key.

You should find this Key in the wireless network card's settings.

Other than that you should look into updating that DS_3 driver. The bugcheck does mention motionjoy: Playstation 3 controller(Dualshcok 3 or Sixaxis) driver for windows | MotioninJoy

Reference to Bugcheck:BSOD Index

You might try power cycling your entire system. In this order power down or unplug, PC, Router, Modem. I believe in your case you have a Xfinity wireless access point? If so unplug it, leave things off for one minute and re-power them in the recerse order, Modem/router then first PC on the network.

Very good to hear, sometimes it's an easy fix. Enjoy. :)
