    I installed more RAM in my pc and my wireless network card stops working. Device manager says the drivers are not installed, so I reinstall and it still doesn't work. I then took out the new RAM and the card works again.

    Has anyone else experienced this and has anyone any advice on how to get the RAM working without automatically disabling my wireless card.

    My first thought on this is to check if it is the correct type of RAM, and if so, return it for a replacement.

    Some memory sticks from different manufactures do not always play together. You may want to try the newer one where the older one is.

    As /\ said, try rearranging the RAM sticks. There will be a total of 9 possibilites, so this may take a few minutes... If its still a no-go, try returning your new RAM as defective. All that RAM should be compatible. Its all PC133. And, Windows recognizes it, so I have no clue what it could be. IRQ settings maybe? (I HIGHLY doubt this).
