The *last* thing you want to be doing right now is flashing bios' and so 
forth!

Take the WiFi card out of the machine!  Enter the bios setup area, and 
start examining all of the options.  Make *CERTAIN* that you understand 
each of the options in the bios setup!

Is your bios setup to allocate resources, or is the task being handed 
over to the OS to do?  Exactly what error messages are being handed out 
in either case?

You either have an incompatible PCI bus, or you have a serious resource 
conflict.  Without seeing the system, I'll tell you now that it's a 
resource conflict.......You can prove this by taking out each of the 
NON-ESSENTIAL cards, like ethernet card, etc., and one-by-one, adding 
each of these cards back into the system.....

But first, double-check your resource allocations in bios, and who is 
set to allocate them:  bios or OS
