I have no idea why it doesn't work. And I don't have the money to get another set of recovery disc at the moment.

Can you check the Recovery Disk using CDCheck if it fail the test you know for sure that the problem is a bad burned disk or it's bad due to scratches or similar.

Hardware related? What do you mean?


Its only a theory but the Wireless card can be bad, it's failing and giving troubles until stop working completely.


Where would the wireless card be located on my Acer Aspire 5750?

If you remove the back cover to access the Hard Drive you should see the Wireless Card, check this video at 0:43 you can see the wireless Card at right of the Hard Drive with a white wire.

One thing you can do its carefully check if the card is correctly inserted on the slot and not loose.

Joined this community just to post on this. I battled this problem for a couple days. This was happening on our Dell Latitude 3440 laptops. Look at your Channel Bandwidth on your wireless router (WAP). When it is configured 20/40MHz, the laptops BSOD within 30 seconds. When configured for only 20MHz, it is completely stable.

It was happening on 5 laptops (all I have at the moment). There is only one driver online as of 12/30/13, so upgrading the driver was a dead end. Atheros' website wasn't helpful either.


Dell/Atheros please fix, I never heard of a WAP causing a laptop to BSOD. Let me know if this was helpful.
