    I have a Acer 1410-2285 with the dual core U2300 processor running Windows 7 (64 Bit). I am having a what seems to be an excessive number of blue screen error shutdowns/restarts (2-3 per day). This seems to happen the most often when the notebook is asleep and I wake the machine up to the "Windows did not shutdown properly message" but occasionally I do see the BSOD when I am using the machine.

    The only modification I have made to to the notebook was to install 4GB of PC6400 ram. I updated the drivers with what Acer has posted on their website, but i have not tried to install the non-Acer drivers.

    Has anyone else had this problem? I can return/exchange the machine no questions asked for another 10 days, but I thought i would ask here first in case it was a known issue with a known fix.

    If you need additional information please let me know what. This is my first post so not entirely sure what to include to help you.

    I'd be suspicious of the RAM. I have updated to 4 GB (and installed lots of other things) and have never (OK...it has only been 10 days) had a BSOD. Sleeping, hibernating or just running. Could you go back to the original RAM configuration?

    I have a 1410-2039, so our machines aren't identical.

    There are memory tests available that walk through bit (or is it byte?) by bit and diagnose. Maybe one of the experts here have a suggestion.

    Good luck.
