I have a computer currently and the parts are very old. they work but they are old and i think my Mobo is old drivers and just plain out old. I am getting Network Blue-screen crashes , and i am wondering if it would just be better to buy a new mother board under 160$ that has built in wifi and a working Ethernet port, rather then pay some guy 169$(the cheapest in San Diego) to Upgrade my BIOS and Install every new driver. I was planning on buying a 1k rig but considering i cant sell my rig that is bluescreening anymore I am thinking of just buying a new Mobo and Intel i56600k(or 4790k). Please comment anything useful

Listen, Smile, Agree. 

Then do whatever the fuck you were going to do anyway

definitely not worth $169 to upgrade the BIOS and install a few drivers... that takes a few minutes tops

You'd pay a guy $170 for something you can do like 10minutes before you go to bed??

well first step is to figure out if it is a hardware problem or a software issue.  If this happens often enough that you could be troubled to try something that will take long enough for a crash to probably happen, I have an easy way to know.  Boot up an Ubuntu live USB or something like that and use that for a while.  If it is still crashing, you've got faulty parts and you might be best taking it to a shop where they can diagnose and fix exactly what the issue is.  If it works fine, you have nothing more than a software issue (drivers, or something).  You could try just reinstalling Windows, or try to troubleshoot the issue from there.

I've never heard of a missing network driver causing a BSOD.  Are you absolutely certain it isn't a hardware problem?

Well, the issue probably resides in the hardware failure over time so i don't think it would be much of a help anyways.

Hm, well that does all look like driver problems... have you tried just installing the right driver?  Why is that an issue?

It should be on the manufacturer's website

By a new mobo. Paying a guy $169 for upgrading the bios and installing new drivers ain't worth it.

i5 4690k | MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G | Swiftech H240-X | MSI Z97s SLI Krait Edition | Corsair Vengeance Pro 8gb ( 2x4gb ) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 850EVO 250gb SSD & WD Caviar Blue 1tb HDD | Fractal Design Define R5
