First off, it sounds like on your laptop you're putting it into hybernation which writes everything in the ram to the hard drive and shuts it completely off, but you can bring it back up very quickly. Try enabling and using that on your desktop. Also on the wireless issue, try getting an extension antinna, it will screw on where the standard antinna is and then you can set on to of your computer for better reception, that may save you some money before you go out and buy a whole new card.
