2200bg locks up Inspiron 6000
I have an Inspiron 6000 with an Intel Wireless 2200bg. The computer was hanging during boot and refused to load. Reverting to the factory install made no difference either. I wiped the system and started a Clean installation of Windows XP pro. I downloaded all the latest drivers from Dell, and went through all the recommended and optional updates from Microsoft including SP2. Everything runs fine except when I installed Intel Proset/Wireless, it hung. When I rebooted the system it hung during the XP startup logo. I booted to Safe Mode and removed the wireless drivers from device manager. The system fully booted but hung when XP detected the 2200bg. I rebooted into Safe Mode and "disabled" the 2200bg. Now everything (except the WiFi) works fine.
All this leads me to believe there is something wrong with the 2200bg. Either hardware or software. I'm leaning toward hardware though.
Thoughts?
