BSOD with Linksys WMP11 wireless adapter

[Guest]

I just built a new system for my son and have been having an issue.

Here are the system specs:

Asus A8V Deluxe revision 2.0/A8V1011 BIOS
AMD64 3000+ processor
80 GB Western Digital Hard Drive
Creative Audigy ZS Soundcard
MSI 6800 GT VGA
1 GB Corsair DDR400
Windows XP Professional SP2
All available updates and windows updates installed

Here is the problem:

The wireless pci card receives signal, and I am able to connect to Internet
Explorer. However, after a few seconds I get the BSOD. It does not name a
specific file, but states:

***stop: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x80545FF0, 0xB2000000, 0x00070F0F Machine
Check Exception

Here is what I have already done:

1: Ran memtest for 24 hours with zero errors.
2: Ran Prime95 and Hot CPU Tester Pro for 24 hours each with zero errors.
3: Installed known operational WMP11 adapter that did not remedy the
situation.
4: Installed suspect WMP11 adapter in another computer and it functioned
normally.
5: Removed sound card from PCI slot to see if it was causing problems.
6: Tried known operational DDR from another computer
7: Reinstalled older BIOS.
8: Reinstalled Windows XP Professional SP2 with WMP11 adapter installed
9: Internet connection works properly when connected directly to
router/cable modem, and no BSOD occurs.
10: Checked event viewer, here is the relating text:

this would be greatly appreciated. If you need more information please ask.

Try going to the manufacturer's web site and checking for a more recent
version of the device driver. Or if you used the one that came with XP or
the adapter, try using whatever they provide online as it's likely to be the
most recently available and may have fixed bugs in prior versions.

I did a lot of reading and research and was able to isolate the problem down
to incompatibility between my motherboard and the hard drive. The second
generation hard drive uses autospeed negotiation, and my motherboard's
chipset could not negotiate the data transfer speed correctly so it shut the
computer down. That is my uneducated result, as I am a pilot and not a
computer technician.

I swapped in another hard drive and there are no more BSODs. The other hard
drive was placed with a compatible chipset and there hasn't been any problems
so far.

There is probably a fix on the internet someplace but I have yet to find it.
