I have completed what you asked for me to try next and here are the results:

Typed sudo modprobe -rv rt2800pci in Terminal : the computer froze immediately after typing in my password. I usually have the seconds displayed on my panel clock and I could see that they had stopped moving. The mouse was also unresponsive. After 10 minutes I gave up waiting and held down the power switch to turn the laptop off.

Deselected "Enable Wireless" in Network Manager : as soon as I selected this the computer again froze immediately, I didn't even get to the "sudo modprobe -rv rt2800pci" step.

I hope this helps a little.
