    Hi, back again, as the memtest came up with nothing.
    At this point I have put a new Windows on (again), and I have the idea it might be the power supply.

    All the shutdowns I had at this point happenend when I had my laptop plugged in. I haven't used it much on battery, but it haven't had a shutdown yet.
    I have been getting less shutdowns to begin with since I uninstalled Daemon Tools (or any other mounting tool). These mounting software created a virtual drive which apparenlty caused more shutdowns (that's what I'm thinking anyway).

    So I'll be testing on battery for a bit, if that doesn't work I'll send it back to Acer.

    Thanks for putting up with me anyway, and hopefully this will be my last post..

    Hi again,

    I figured out what the problem was, or at least how to stop the shutdowns. I searched a bit more on the internet and finally found a post which explained how to stop getting the event id 37 warnings(The speed of processor # in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for x seconds since the last report.)

    To stop these errors someone recommended going in to the bios and disabling c-states. Ever since I haven't had any problems (apart from the laptop being slightly louder). I did have to unlock my bios, but seems worth it.

    Anyway thanks for putting up with me, and hope this info will help others as well.

    Cheers
