This article suggests your NIC is at fault:

NICs are cheap-get a new one (Or a used one) and replace it.

I disabled the wireless zero configuration, and as i said it crashed again.
However after reading Hugh's link to Tweeksforgeeks.com i tried uninstalling
SP2 and now it's all working fine. Thanks to all for your help.

Merry Christmas
