Can't install wirless notebook card

Old Gateway laptop. 802.11b router at home. After loading the software plugging the adaptor card into the slot freezes the computer and generates this blue screen: Fatal exception OE has occured at 0028:00000013.

Unplugging the card unfreezes the computer. The card is new. Is it bad? Is there something else going on here? The computer used to have wireless connectivity via a D-Link adaptor card. I don’t understand why the Belkin won’t work
