This may be heat related - I've had similar problems with a 1524WLMi (64
bit).  It's been back to Acer twice but for the last few months has been
OK.  Acer won't act on Linux symptoms, so I downloaded something called
HotPC or HotCPU (I'm not in windows to check) which stress tests your
processor.  Might be worth eliminating hardware as the cause.
