USB Wireless Adapter crashes my computer

[Garrador]

Hi!

For some time now, my computer has been crashing randomly atleast 4-5 times a day minimum. As I've tried to narrow down what caused it, I've come to the conclusion that it's the USB Wireless Network Adapter.

Issue:

Computer freezez up, doesent go to blue screen or auto-restart. It just freezez up.
Reason ( I think ):

At startup, after the computer has been off for a while (so both CPU and System temp is VERY cool), if I start Utorrent and download something, it wont take long before it freeze up. So what I think is; when the adapter receives a high load of bandwitch ( this only happends when I download something at full speed, I THINK ) it freezes.
It also crashes if I try to transfer a file from one computer to this one. So it has to be the adapter right?

So, what I need, is a solution =P Whyyy would it happend?

Specs:

Win 7 64-Bit
D-Link DWA-140 Wireless N USB Mini Adapter

I hope someone can answer!

sounds like a driver issue, try another driver.

if that not it, get rid of the thing and get a decent wireless card or wired connection.
Nothing but problems with wireless when i had it. I guess the stuff isnt built for faraday caged houses or something.

I had this problem with a PCI wireless card, and it turned out to be a driver issue, just as zombie said. As soon as I updated the driver, it worked fine.

Hope that helps.
