Hi there.
Does it shut down without warning or do you get an error message at all?

Overheating. This is really simple to fix if it is what I think it is. Take a phillips head screwdriver, unscrew the back panel with the grate on it, unscrew the fan, then clean out the metal thing. If there was a lot of dust there, that's the reason why it was overheating. If not, then I don't know what to tell you.

I had exactly the same problem with exactly the same laptop. I called acer warranty support on 0870 853 1000 and they repaired it within 7 days. You have to provide proof of purchase (I had the store I bought it from post me an invoice and I emailed a scan of that to them). It's still fixed and I've had it back for around three weeks now.

Hope that helps.
