my wifi driver installed first time perfectly. and it was working. i wasnt paying any attention to it since i was using cable connection.
it came to my attention that wifi adapter was stopping working sometimes and it was working again. i tried to reinstall the driver and computer got frozen and Windows intallation was corrupted, so i had to install Windows from scratch.
with this brand new Windows installation i cant install the wifi driver ever. whenever i try to install the wifi driver computer hangs and after 30 second it Shows a BSOD.
im about to get crazy, any help appreciated.
I had the same exact issue. I built my system at work, installed all of the drivers from the DVD, and didn't think much of the 802.11 ac driver as I was on ethernet. I was running the latest BIOS 1302. When I took the machine home I was on wifi, and it kept freezing Windows 8.1. I went to device manager and it said Broadcom driver failed to initialize. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver from each of the three versions on the Asus site, but it froze my system so much I had to reinstall Widows. I completely wiped and have downloaded all of the latest drivers from the Asus website, but each time I try to install the wireless driver (each of the three versions) my system freezes.
I'll try flashing the BIOS and getting back, but I wanted to write to say that I am having the same exact issue.
