    hello,

    New to the group but would certainly appreciate any help / advice. I have an older Acer laptop ( around 8 years old ) running Windows 7. It’s been running a bit sluggish lately ( I have recording software I use ( audio box helps take the CPU load off ) and tons of baby pictures uploaded ). Recently, I went to turn it on a blue screen popped up that says Stop: 0x000000C4 (0x0000000000000091, etc. ) and some error codes. I tried to start from an old restart point, but there was only one and it was only a week or so old. Any way to fix this? Thanks I’m advance!
