    Bluetooth drops out randomly on my laptop

    I recently bought a Killer Wireless-N 1202 card to replace my old one.
    It fixed all the previous issues I had just getting connected to the internet and my headphones at the same time.
    A new issue has started though, the bluetooth device randomly disconnects for a few seconds and then reconnects.
    Also, when I restart my laptop, half the time my bluetooth device is disabled. (also happens coming out of sleep I think)

    All the drivers are up to date, I uninstalled my wireless driver from the previous wifi card before installing the killer drivers.
    I didn't think about uninstalling the previous bluetooth driver, however its not showing up so I may have uninstalled it after or it was removed with the last driver.

    Any help or advice to resolve the issue would be immensely appreciated.

    Does the Bluetooth issue happen if you are using the 5ghz band for your WiFi and not 2.4ghz band that is shared with Bluetooth.
