I purchased this Zonet ZEW2500P USB 2.0 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter - Retail at Newegg.com and since my install my computer has been freezing every 30 minutes, forcing a hard reboot. When I restart, my USB mouse has to be unplugged and replugged as well as the wireless thingy. So, im assuming it's a USB issue. Anything I can do? thanks.
Yup! RightClick MyComputer > Manage > Event Viewer > Under Application and system events... Double click on the error you are getting, copy the whole error and paste here...
ok, well i looked on there but i didn't see any errors that seemed relevant to the nic. i'll see if it freezes again and try then.
:dohont just consider that it has to be your NIC...It could be anythinghah:. Edit: If you can see any other error...post it here! Also look into Device Manager(You will find it in same place where event viewer is), if there is anything with yellow exclamatery sign??
