    It doesn't make sense. They are not even related. Have you tried updating all your drivers?

    I'll bet you're using a PCI x1 network card for wireless, right?

    Make sure both devices aren't trying to use the same IRQ. You can disable ports such as the Firewire (1394) in the BIOS to see if that helps free up IRQ bandwidth. Otherwise, you can set the BIOS to not assign an IRQ to the graphics card. Unless you can find a way to assign a different number to each device... such as 9 for the graphics card and 10 for the internet.

    open Device Manager and check for IRQ(and other) conflicts.
