I’ve had a really irritating problem recently, and I can’t find a fix. My Windows 7 laptop, Ami, bluescreens randomly, and the faulting module is always “acedrv09.sys”. Nobody knows what driver it is, or who manufactures it, and there’s little or no information on the driver itself, or what hardware it is linked with. There are tons of forum posts on the Web about it, affecting lots of different machine configurations.

It seems to be an internal Windows thing to do with storage. I know it isn’t a RAM thing, as my 2×1GB sticks have been in since I restored and upgraded the laptop, they were brand new sticks. It’s affecting Vista too, some of my customers who I built Core i7 systems for have started having the issue.
