I Installed Windows 7, and then... it crashes!

[kyleneedshelp]

Ok, am not that smart when it comes to computers, but I installed Windows 7 32bit on my Acer laptop, which is only about a year old. It runs fine for about two days, and then.... IT CRASHES! It starts by running EXTREMELY slow, and then I restart it, and it wants to do a startup repair, and the startup repair does not fix it. I had some comp.geeks help me, and they formatted my hard drive, and I reinstalled Windows, and IT CRASHED AGAIN!
Now my laptop had Windows Vista to start with, then I put Ubuntu on it, and hated it. So I bought the fresh install disk from the store. SO PLEASE HELP!

You can enter the make AND model of your computer, your operating system (32- or 64-bit), and perhaps run the utility above mentioned by Carl to provide additional specs. Running msinfo32 at the start button will provide information as well.

Ok, I just put my specs up, sorry if I'm troubling anyone...

Not at all, you're doing fine. Next, you need to perform this. It's pretty easy.
