However, the PC just keeps hang up on me after 2-10 minutes after boot up. I have to Power cycles it to get it starts again. Any helps will be appreciated. Thanks

- Thanks, but I just find out that the PC seems to hang up on me whenever I tried to use the DVD drive. I tried to burn a DVD, and it would freeze after finished burning DVD, or when computer first boots up and I try to access to the DVD drive, it would hang up to. I now think that it could be a bad DVD drive. I will swap it with a different DVD burner and test out. Any suggestion? Thanks

In response to my original comment I found the solution to my problem by contacting Acer who took the machine back, as it was still under warranty, and replaced a bunch of components including mobo before returning it to me. PC has worked like a dream after that. Great service by Acer btw.

I too have exactly the same problem on my brand new Aspire but am finding that the PC's also hanging when I'm not using the dvd drive. I've also had it hang on me when copying files from a USB drive and when installing a service pack from the local HDD.

I downgraded the PC from Vista to XP Pro in an attempt to overcome the dreadful performance I was seeing with the Vista OS and since then I've found that the machine hangs at random intervals. I'm guessing that there's some kind of subtle incompatibility of driver somewhere here rather than a hardware issue because there was no hanging problem when Vista was installed. I've been careful to use all the XP-specific driver downloads from the Acer site.

I'll reinstall XP Pro again and will test to see if the issue can be replicated before any Acer drivers are loaded. That'll help me to understand whether Acer's drivers are introducing the issue as a part of the machine rebuild.

Machine spec: T180 AMD 64/X2 4000+ 1GB RAM 250GB SATA HDD
