    Hi all,

    I've been experiecing this issue with my netbook since I installed Windows 7 Beta. I now have the Windows 7 RTM installed and still running into the same problem.

    I see the following symptoms mostly when I am using my wifi to stream video from my server or if I leave it running for long periods downloading, for example, torrents etc...

    Problems:

    1) System would lock up and I would need to reboot
    2) BSOD (Blue screen of death) but the text is unreadable - like the screen is distorted/smotherd
    3) I will loose the wifi connection and at the same time Windows Aero would get disabled, and after a few minutes, Aero is back and WiFi is connected

    I have sent this in for service to Acer and they replaced the Harddrive. I then reinstalled Windows 7 back on and so far it has not BSOD, but I still have the other two problems when streaming videos.

    I am getting down to two issues. Either the wifi card or the video. I tried to update the latest drivers I can find for both, but still no go.

    Is anyone else experiencing these types of issues?

    Any ideas?

    Thanks,
