There's two kinds of WiFi parts out there, ones that require CNVi and ones that do not. Intel chipsets that support CNVi can use the CNVi WiFi parts on a M2 slot. AMD Chipsets, and Intel chipsets without CNVi require the non-CNVi version.
What is CNVi you ask? In short, it's a way to move the non-Radio parts of the WiFi chip to the motherboard chipset (think "winmodem") This allows the BT/WiFi radio to exist by itself on a PCIe card/m2 card. Or in other words, a way for laptop/NUC/ITX boards to cut costs.
If you have an AMD board, there is no equivalent, so you need to make sure whatever WiFi parts you buy are non-CNVi, as there is no hardware in the chipset to run them. This means that the WiFi card you buy will be more expensive. Most full-size PCIe WiFi cards are simply the NGFF (M2) card on a larger PCIe card, sometimes with larger antenna's or multiple antennas. Most of these tend to include Bluetooth because the underlying WiFi part has BT standard. This is why you see USB references in some WiFi card's specifications, because BT is USB, and thus needs a connection to the motherboard's USB 2.0 header:
What you need to make sure is that both drivers are installed.
WiFi drivers must be installed, and Bluetooth drivers must also be installed IF you plug in the USB header. If you do not want bluetooth support, then don't plug it in.
Personally this could be an issue with your graphics cards, if your graphics cards have been overclocked by you or someone you purchased them off, they may be over clocked too high, and causing graphical errors and crashes, to fix this issue you should put your computer in safe mode with networking, This will stop any applications that may overclock your gpu when the computer is on, once here, you can restore your gpus original setting via an app such as msi afterburner, if this is not the issue however then it may genuinely just be a monitor issue
