I own an Acer notebook (Aspire 1310) which I guess has some sort of virus.
I was working on it last week and the computer suddenly showed a blue screen and shut down.
When I tried to restart it stopped right after the initial Acer sreeen with a black screen.
I took the HD to an Acer Help Desk and found out that all my files had been erased though system and program files seemed to be all there.
So I took the notebook home and used its recovery CD to reformat the HD. It seemed to be working just fine, I reinstalled Avast antivirus but a few minutes later the same blue screen appeared and the system won't boot again.
Any help will be appreciated,
Thanks,

Hello,
Boot to Safe Mode, and uninstall Avast Anti Virus.
By default when WinXP encounters a system failure, it reboots without warning. The setting that controls this can be changed:
Control Panel/System/Advanced/Settings (Startup & Recovery)/System Failure/Uncheck-Automatically Restart.
The Next time you get a BSOD, you'll be able to see the error message. I need that Message; word for word.
