    hi, just had a tech coming around to replace my mother board and graphic card to try and cure the randoom reboots.
    after he letf i tried using my bluetooth and its wasn't there.
    check the device manager and not there, checked the bios and bluetooth is enable, check if the bluetooth is actually fitted and yes it is,

    tried to install the driver again but no luck it says press the wireless button to active bluetooth card and tried that but no luck

    under device manager i get 4 things

    -ethernet controler
    -wifi 6300
    -microsoft virtual wifi mini port 4
    -microsoft virtual wifi mini port 5

    try to unistall both mini port 4 n 5 but they related to intel 6300 for windoes installed them again .
