    Hi Y'all

    I have an acer aspire 1690 (2 yo) that is giving me BSODs usually IRQ not less or equal. These are usually preceded by the USB ports dying (mouse stops working etc) then the computer freezes.. then the BSOD. In the event manager I am getting an array of errors before the system failure from ATAPI layer problems to disk bad sectors.

    I am afraid that the only common factor is the motherboard, can anyone with more expertise than me help?
