    I connect to my access point fine and everything runs totaly fine. No slowdowns or lags in speed until a few hours into using my computer. All of a sudden it will stop working.

    What i mean by stop working is it says it is connected fine. An ipconfig command still shows an ip address and everything SEEMS fine. If I ping a website continously on the wierd computer and connect wirelessly from another computer the connection reconnects on the wierd computer without any notification and will work fine again until a few hours. If i connect with any other wifi card it works fine the whole time. Any clues?

    All i can guess is like the accesspoint just forgets this certain card is there or something and connectiong from another computer wakes it back up.

    They run on the same frequencies 2.4GHz,also microwaves can give off interference as well.
