[SOLVED] PCIe wifi causes hard crash ?

[declan haywood]

was watching a livestream when my pc suddenly hard crashed and audio glitched, i had to turn power off and reboot. i was unable to connect to wifi after boot so i looked on my task manager and noticed the pcie card was not reccognised instead i found " something " controller at the bottom which was new. tryed searching for new hardware and it hard crashed my system again.

after reboot i uninstalled the new option to try and reinslall on boot but it would begin to crash during boot so i took out the pcie and it works fine afterwords

haven't tested it in another system yet.

Almost certainly a faulty WiFi card --- you can try it on another PC for confirmation but I don't think it's necessary since your PC works fine when it's removed.

Just replace it.
