I bought myself a 300mps PCI Express adapter from TP-Link as my computer desperately needed some new oomph when it came to internet. However I've been unsuccessful in installing the driver as my computer just crashes? I've not used my CD drive in a long time so I have no idea what the issues could lying around with that but whenever I put the mini disk in and close the tray I'm unable to open the tray from then on??? However I can open and close the tray as much as I want at startup, but as soon as I'm at my desktop it won't open again? It won't do anything nor show that a disk has been recognised, I've waited for about 10 minutes and nothing. So I go to windows explorer to check if it shows up under My PC but nothing, I know its drive H so I click on it and that's where it just freezes explorer, everything else is still fine but explorer freezes and after a while my computer will just do the windows 8 blue screen with the unhappy face... I've tried installing the driver with the adapter installed and without, I've tried reconnecting my CD drive and it stills doesn't work, please help guys... I'm running windows 8.1 and the network adapter is a TL-WN881ND.

It sounds like the ODD is trying hard to read through the optical media that you'd inserted in the tray. Regardless the drivers for your network adapter have compatibility with Windows 8 as per their support site.
