I've noticed that on my desktop when the wireless card I have tries to connect to my wifi network, my monitor will black screen for a few seconds. This doesn't happen when I'm connected via Ethernet.
Here are my comp specs with lspci:

This hasn't started happening until the last six months and I should have reported it then, but I guess it wore me down. Anything I can do? Maybe try to uninstall/reinstall my wifi drivers? I'm not sure which ones to remove 🙁
wpa_supplicant - WiFi authentication client and server
wireless-regdb - This package contains the wireless regulatory database used by all cfg80211 based Linux wireless drivers.
wireless-tools - Tools to configure wireless lan cards
I'm also seeing that my card keeps trying to connect over and over again to the same network. When it is connected, the speeds are about 0.16 Mbps, but all other machines on my network are getting 15-20 MBps. I'm connecting on 2.4GHz network for this tower.
Any help or insight would be appreciated!
