Can a network card burn out?

intel wireless-ac 9260 blue screen crash when installing adapter

Hi, that driver version 20.0.2 does not support the intel wireless-ac 9260

here is a copy and paste from intel https://downloadcenter.intel.com/do...-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-Windows-10

Software and drivers

Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software (includes drivers) for Windows® 10:

• WiFi_20.0.2_PROSet64_Win10.exe
  
• WiFi_20.0.2_PROSet32_Win10.exe
  

Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software version = 20.0.2

• Driver version = 20.0.2.3 for Windows 10 for 18265, 8265, 18260, 8260 adapters.
  
• Driver version = 19.51.7.2 for Windows 10 for 3168, 3165, and 17265 adapters.
  
• Driver version = 18.33.9.3 for Windows 10 for 7265, 3160, and 7260 adapters.

Version: 20.10.2 does support the 9260 adapter, so I will try that one as it is the oldest one available that supports the 9260.

Burning Files To cdr

I tried to drag a .txt file to the burn list, as suggested above, but it will not drop in. I get a message "+add to burn list" but I cannot get it to drop into the burn list. Is there another step I am missing?
