Blue screen when shutting down after installing network card

[Andrew_e1]

Hello,

Im restoring an old hp pavilion I had laying around for my grandparents, its a p3 1.0ghz, 512 ram etc... It originally came with windows me but it was working ok with xp.

I decided to format and do a clean install and I installed a generic wireless network card I had laying around.

Everything works great, except for the weird thing that when the computer is connected to a wireless network, I shut it down and just after the "windows is shutting down screen" a blue screen comes up saying "hardware malfunction" memory parity error or something like that...

I tried looking for new drivers for the card but I cant even find the manufacturer... Like I said, it happens ONLY when its connected to a wireless network, otherwise it shuts down fine...

any ideas?

thanks

Well, I think you should get a new WiFi card. Or... just disconnect from the network prior to shutdown. Hm... I wonder if you can make it part of the shutdown routine...
