Wireless adapter is continuously failing, causing computer to freeze(or doesn't load at all on reboots)

My Aspire ES 15 seems to be having a lot of issues with the WiFi adapter and I can't seen to figure it out.

If it's connected to WiFi, it works just fine if I don't move it or readjust the screen, but as soon as I do, the laptop locks up and I'll have to force a restart. If I turn the WiFi off, the computer still locks up but I'm able to click the touchpad a couple times and function returns. The odd part about that though is that when the WiFi is off, I can move the computer about no problem, but if I open up a video or a game, the temporary freezing starts.

When I reset the wireless adapter, I'll get the error 'wireless adapter may be unplugged or broken.'
I've tried a system reset, I tried deleting the wireless drivers and restarting.

I'm lost here. Thanks in advance.
