My PC crashes with a TP-Link wireless card.

Hello
Since I installed my wifi card, my PC crashes and restarts. I went online to research, but they suggest updating the BIOS or the driver. However, my BIOS is up to date and the drivers (Internet or CD) do not recognize the hardware. I don’t know what to do anymore, I’d appreciate any solutions.

    You can install a driver search software, for example Driver Booster, then uninstall it once the job is done! Otherwise, you can try, if it's a desktop, changing your installation port on the motherboard?

      I only have one PCI port, but I didn’t know about Driver Booster, thank you I’ll try it

      Driver Booster has updated my card, but I’m going to test for a few days to see if everything works.

      Is it a used card?

      No, but that said, I hadn't restarted my PC after the installation. Was I supposed to do that?

    So I unplugged and replugged my RAM and my card. I think everything is connected properly.
    Afterwards I don’t think my card is damaged because besides crashing, it works.

      Oh, and I forgot to mention that if I disable the device in the Device Manager, my PC doesn’t crash.

      She can walk, but when heated she can start drawing more electricity and the PC power supply cuts in to protect the motherboard; let's say some resistors, when heated, can change value—we call that thermistors.

      I don’t think it’s that, because there’s a little freeze time before I crash, and not a direct stop
      Otherwise I’ll test to see if it was in the wiring.
