    I have a oldish cf-18 toughbook that started to just BSOD and reboot all by itself. After alot of reinstalls and testing (oh and a bit of swearing!) it seems to have been the WIFI, as it crashed as soon as it was trying to connect to a network. Disabled the wireless card and it performs faultlessly as it used to. Using a PMCIA wifi card at the moment without problems but is it possible to replace the internal wifi card and is it easy and but costly?

    Its a software issue that causes BSOD issues
    Uninstall the Intel proset and driver software from the add and remove in control panel
    Download the new wireless card software from the Intel downloads site
    Install drivers only, not the proset sofware and you will not have issues
    If you post your model number I will give you a link
