A computer owner who has a Dell Latitude D600 kept getting a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) error when he inserted his wireless card into the PCMCIA port. The card is a Level One model WPC-0300. The wireless card comes with software that was installed on the computer.
The card did not cause another laptop to crash and inserting a known good wireless card into the owner’s computer did cause a crash. So the card is good and the PCMCIA slot appears to be fine.
Upon rebooting the system, I noticed that the WPC-0300 utility software started and ran in the background at startup. I removed the software from the startup menu and rebooted, inserted the card and no crash this time.
Inserting the wireless card before running the utility seemed to be the solution.
