Dear Mods,
I am using a Lenovo Z570 laptop. It came with a Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter. It became faulty and I replaced it with a Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160.
The bios came with the laptop: Pheonix securecore Tiano Version: 45CN38WW
Before installing the new card I applied the bios version: 45CN38WW_NWL_ByCamiloml
It worked fine for a day. After that it causes random freeze or lock ups. If I disable the new Wi-Fi adapter in the device manager the system runs fine.
As my Broadcom was faulty I am unable to find it's device id. But assuming that it would be the same for all models, I find this from another member's post.
Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_051B14E4
And for the new card I have two device id's listed in the device manager.
Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B3&SUBSYS_00708086&REV_83
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_08B3&SUBSYS_00708086
In case if needed this is the id for Bluetooth Intel Wireless
USB\VID_8087&PID_07DC&REV_0001
Because some forums they suggested this also can cause the problems.
Link for the original Bios:

Please assist me in fixing this
Thanks
