    Hello everyone I am having severe issues with my new replacement computer that I just got. I am getting blue screen left and right. I think all my usb ports are bad or something. I am using an external tp-link wireless adapter tl-WN822n and also have tried the 722n as well. After a few minutes of using it it quits working in all usb ports, and a bluescreen pops up. It said something about irql driver not less or equal error on bluescreen message. I have about 4 different minidump files and I don't know how to view them or what to do and how to tell what the problem is. :confused: I used both of these adapters on my other m17x r3 with no issues so I know it has to be a hardware problem. If someone can please help me I would gladly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!! :)
