Blue Screen when connecting to wireless network

[ZowieHowie]

I reformatted my laptop and everything is working fine, except for the wireless.

The laptop is a Sony BX540B, and has a built in wireless card.

I found my wireless network from the Sony Network COnfigurator, and attempted to connect. Whenever it was attempting to connect, I would get the blue screen of death, and then the computer would restart.

I turned off my wireless router, re-configured the network, and then turned the router back on. My laptop sees the router and tries to connect, but I then recieved the error that Windows could not connect (limited connectivity). I tried to repair the connection, and got the same blue screen over and over.

Any advice on what to do here? Last time I reformatted, I did not have this issue.

Make sure you have the correct drivers installed for the wireless adapter. If you have Windows XP, use this link to get the correct driver from Sony's support site. If you have Service Pack 3, you'll also need to install this update for the Sony Wireless Adapter Manager.


Sony lists some drivers for the laptop for Windows Vista but nothing for the wireless card, so if you are running Vista that could be part of the problem and you'll need to get compatible drivers for the adapter directly from Intel.
