S620 FAIL = My merlin S620 crashes my notebook when doing any large downloads or gaming online. Heavy use will crash my little HP pavilion zv6000. AMD 1.8 sempron notebook. Its a driver resorce conflict in the PCI BUS. A critical error but notebook will reboot ok. I am going to get a PC-5740 card today and will keep you guys posted.

I believe he said it was fixed by upgrading video drivers.

For what its worth.. The S620 works very well in my HP/Compaq nc6000 running XP. I hope you get it working soon.

I now have the PC-5740, It works great! (Less PCI BUS resorces) How-ever, my noteook still crashs while playin online games. This only happens when on the sprint card. Never when using WI-FI or RJ-45.
