How do I fix my Acer Aspire 5742G when it won't get on the internet? It has 4 yellow signs with ! In the middle of the sighs. They are on Ethernet Controller, Network Controller, PCI Simple Communications Controller and Standard VGA Graphics Adapter.

You can try downloading the drivers from the Acer web site

http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

Please make sure you pick Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit per your machine.

The fact that 4 have issues, leads me to think it might be a problem with the Southbridge (hardware) or maybe the Driver labeled Chipset Intel Chipset Driver

Just be aware the Southbridge controls all 4 of the devices you are having problems with.

Any chance it is still on warranty, call support do what they ask and see you can RMA it? Back up your data, because it will be wiped clean when you get it back and you will have to reload all your applications.

If you want to see, what I am talking about here is a nice diagram:
