    I've bought my laptop 2months ago.. I've reformatted it for 8 times now since there were so many problems.. Then, the 1st time I brought it to Acer service center they've replaced the hard drive . After 3 days, the laptop keeps on crashing! I reformat it again... and after hours of observing it.. thinking and hoping it won't crash again... unfortunately, the laptop crashed again and again and again! Every time I started it, I'm getting a blue screen with a message:


    A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
    If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. if a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.

    Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

    Technical Information:

    *** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x88667703, 0x9CC61C70, 0x00000000)

    *** windrvNT.sys - Address 88667703 base at 88666000, DateStamp 409f405c


    Can anyone help me what to do?
