    I recently had to reformat my hd and have reinstalled the recovery version of windows supplied by acer.

    I am still getting weird faults though. It sometimes gives me blue screens with things like

    STOP: <000021a unknown hard error

    or

    Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    then lots of blurb and at the bottom

    gwausb.sys Address B1929CIE B1928000

    i have no idea what that is.

    Other times it tries to bot up and then goes into a loop trying to load he network card and finishes by saying check cable

    Somtimes when I reboot and it works seemingly i still get a windows mesae saying windows recovered from a fatal error. I tried sending the report to microsoft but they have no idea what caused the error. Sometimes they say its a driver fault.

    How do I find out which driver is clashing with what? Is this something I can send to Acer for them to sort out?

    thanks for any help!
