Did you try cleaning it of pests a few times?
But before we proceed, what is this machine? What OS?

I let my sister use a laptop and after about a month it comes back to me with a load if issues.
1. The desktop wont boot just shows a blue blank screen but i found away to get around that as a temporary fix.
2. The wireless card no longer finds connections but can be enabled and disabled windows claims bad drivers but divers have been re-installed
3. A usb wireless adapter netgear n300 wifi will not enable even after running the install cd windows says its drivers are also bad
Was hoping for some help but if not ill just re-install windows And since she had it for a while im sure im not getting the whole truth about what she did to cause all this
