Have you run the scan disk? That will repair any missing files.

Go into microsoft and type in the error code and it will take you to a link to repair your problem, or you can run the scan disk if you think you might have more than one problem.

atelaz,
Try download and installing in the correct order. The notebook/desktoip drivers and the chipset MUST be first or the other drivers do NOT install correctly.

Since the operating system was re-installed did you remember to go to drivers and downloads, enter your service tag(DO NOT POST SERVICE TAG here or your post will get deleted, since it contains your personal information), and install these drivers in this order.
:emotion-55: Hint :emotion-55: When downloading the drivers, make a folder for each drivers and name it with the device it belongs with to make it easier to install them in the proper order.
