    My laptop has been acting strange and was wondering if anyone might have any suggestions. I have a Gateway MX6650 and sometimes when I am connected wireless, my computer will freeze. If I turn it off then back on, sometime it will be fine and other times it will not even show my network connection any longer. I will look in the devise manager and my network card and another generic card bus will be marked with a yellow asterik. I then reboot again and sometime it will find my card and it will work normal but other times the only way I can get it to work is to remove the card from the backl of the laptop then reinstall it. My thinking is either a bad wireless card or maybe the motherboard. Other than that, the laptop works great. Works perfect when plugged in from router to ethernet. Only problems with the wireless.

    Thanks!
