I just bought a D-Link USB network adapter so I could connect to my house's wireless internet. I did it to replace a pci adapter from D-Link, which sucked ass.
Anyhow, at first it worked fine. But then the crashing started. Not a bluescreen crash, mind you, but a bona-fide computer turn's off and turns back on. It would happen every 15 minutes of usage.
I managed to lessen the problem by turning off a few options that were on by default, such as "Nitro Mode" (now set to off) and "Power Save Mode" (now set to Dynamic, as Maximum stops the whole thing from working). It now crashes only after very heavy network usage (such as multiple p2p programs running, irc plus a download, heavy surfing, or mmos).
Anyhow, this has all led me to believe that perhaps there is a problem with the computer itself, instead of the adapter. Maybe some sort of power shortage or something? Can anyone help?
