Do I have a bad network card?

This is like the 3rd freakin time this has happened to me over the past 2 weeks. I do the usual computer reset and right before Windows boots up, it gives me a Windows Protection Error. Usually, a Windows reinstall fixed the problem, but not this time. I've tried resetting many times and I was getting the same results. I had a suspicion it was the network card so I go into safe mode and disable it. I reboot and my system starts up fine. When I try to re-enable the network card, my system reboots itself. I've tried reinstalling it, and whenever I try to install the drivers, it reboots itself. When I go back into device manager and check the network card, it says that this device will no longer be available because it caused the system to halt? or something like that. Is this network card bad? Oh, BTW, no IRQ conflicts. It's using IRQ 10 with nothing else shared on it.
 
Well, I'm trying to avoid doing that since moving it to another PCI slot would mean I would have to also rearrange my other cards so I don't get IRQ conflicts. I'm probably gonna try a new nic first when I get home tonight, and if that doesn't work, it looks like I'm gonna have to do what you suggested and play the musical chairs game with my cards.
