    Got my M17x r3 with everything working, SSd installed correctly, ram installed and everything is working great except one thing. When i connect to wifi connection or anyones Wifi I get a blue screen shortly after and then it restarts. As long as I'm not connected to wi-fi my computer runs wonderfully.

    Tell me what you guys think, am I missing a driver? Do you need more inofrmation ?

    what are the error codes on the BSOD?

    How did you get your OS onto the SSD? Fresh install or a mirror/image copy from another drive?

    It was a fresh install and im running AHCI

    I checked the event viewer and I'm getting a Critical 41 kernal power error. Whats causing this? I also looked at my driver manager and I noticed that I have one driver that is an unknown device.

    Are Wi-Fi drivers up to date?
    What card is it?

    If the OP has unknown device/(!) symbols in his device manager, those problems need to be solved 100% first.

    install in this rough order: chipset drivers, storage drivers, video drivers, then everything else.
