First, to start a new thread, you have to write a new mail. If you hit rply to
and change the subject, you are highjacking someone thread.
Then, yes, I do have the same problem on Acer aspire 5715z. The way
out was to install by small pieces, ie: standard instaal withot desktop, then
the desktop by small pieces. Now, its working OK. It shut off on some videos,
but not all. Strange. Also, to install, I used a fan to blow fresh air into
the laptop.
