You should try and get a dump of the acpi tables; you can try boot -c at the boot prompt, then at the UKC prompt 'disable acpi' and 'quit'. If you're lucky it will run well enough to do the following: cd /tmp acpidump -o acer5820tg tar czf acer5820tg.tgz acer5820tg.* then copy this file off the machine (scp/usb stick/etc) and put it on a webserver somewhere and mention the URL in a post to the mailing list. It is NOT recommended to run the machine without acpi, this is just to get additional information out of it. You could also try a newer BIOS, there are several newer versions: http://support.acer.com/us/en/product/default.aspx?tab=1&modelId=2113
