Computer crashing when connecting to web

Question

I have just inserted a ‘TP-Link WN951’ wireless card into my Inspiron 531 (Vista) and followed the Virgin set-up to the T. Signal strength and all other settings of my wireless connection are fine. I then connect to the internet using IE and my home page appears as usual. The second I move the mouse it stops responding then the screen turns into motionless fuzzy stripes. I rebooted the machine and played with other software which work fine, when I try to use the internet the same thing happens.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Please help!

did you try going to safemode with networking and test your IE there??

Aslo, check to see if that device and/or driver is Vista compatible.  You might also try running the driver in XP compatibility mode.

Does your wireless adapter have a diagnostic option? if yes, run it to know if it is a possible hardware issue.

Did you ever resolve this problem? I have exactly the same symptoms on my 531. Regards Robert
