Hello, i've recently bought a new wireless card (D-Link Xtreme N) and, It will connect to the network, then, after a few reboots, The card stops working, Taking it out, restarting, wiping drivers, then putting card in, installing drivers, makes it work again, Then it goes back to the problem, I've changed it to different PCI slots with no luck.

Is there anyway i can fix this?

System is a hp pavilion Tv m7360n

Difficult to say what the problem is, but it sounds more like a software with WINDOWS itself though I don't know where.

Troubleshooting:
1) Update to the latest CHIPSET DRIVERS for your PC (motherboard chipset drivers, such as Intel INF). *Do it manually. No need to confirm which version you currently have, just get the latest one for your EXACT PC and Windows version and install/reinstall it.

2) See if the drivers have been updated for your wi-fi card. *Note sure if this is your card or not, but for this card the latest drivers are v1.70:

3) update the PC's BIOS

4) Enter the BIOS and DISABLE the LAN connections if you don't use them. (Shouldn't be necessary but worth trying.)

5) Try in a different PC.

6) Try with LINUX (i.e. Ubuntu) if drivers exist. You can either run directly from the DVD or install with WUBI (and uninstall from add/remove). I recommend using WUBI and allocate 10GB of drive space.

Yeah, might be a PCI conflict with the bios itself, I know about linux, personally use mint 13 Cinnamon. I will give it a shot, although drivers are updated, I will try with the new drivers...
