    This is almost always a memory issue. You can try to reseat (remove and reinsert) your ram or you can contact Acer and have them do it for you.

     

    If you do decide to reseat your ram and it doesn't work feel free to post back and I'll see if I can help further.

    how can you install wifi drivers when the windows installation has not finished?

     

    I know there is a way to load the driver during the installation, but just signed drivers, the Acer drivers are not signed.

    That's why I can not load my drivers and can not finish the installation.

     

    If I try to finish my installation without the new wifi driver I'll get a blue screen...

     

    I hate windows 8 so much
