    Anyhow, anyone having an issue with the wireless adapter in the 8943g aspire shutting off after 45 minutes to and hour and not being able to reconnect. I tried to use the troubleshoot in windows 7, but all that did was try to reset the adapter by turning it off and then back on. This caused the blue screen of death or it freezes up windows 7 and the computer completely and forces me to do a hard boot. This is obsurd concidering things like this should have been fixed 10 years ago. I'm not sure what is going on, but i had a similar problem with my toshiba qosmio it would disconnect constantly and i couldn't stay on. Turns out it was a problem with the drivers being unstable, intel sent out and update that fixed the issue. If anyone has an answer or knows of this issue, any help would be appreciated, otherwise this thing is going back to tiger direct.
