Hi. I have an Acer Aspire 5672 WLMi, which I just bought a week ago. The first time I used it (it was without the AC adaptor, just running it with its battery) the screen of the laptop just freeze. I reboot it twice, the first time without sucess (still using solely the battery), and then the second time with sucess (using the AC adaptor, I did not remove the battery though).

Everything went well during the next few days, until today. It froze up was I was setting things up in the Acer Power Management. I diminushed a bit the screen brightness and put the speed of the processor from "high" to "medium", and when I pressed apply (the settings) the laptop just froze up again. Again, I was using only the laptop's battery, not the AC adaptor, this was the second time I did so. The laptop wouldn't reboot, the screen would freeze everytime the laptop tried to load the user login screen (I had set up a password, if this helps). I did tried to restore settings using Acer eRecovery Management, but the screen would continue to freeze up. Finally, sent my laptop to the retail store I bought the laptop from, where they did solved the problem, though I lost everything I had in the HD.

My question is: what could be the reason behind this screen freeze? I did called Acer, they said it could be the battery. The laptop is working fine using just the AC adaptor. This is my first laptop. I would be very grateful for any help and hints you guys could provide.

Many thanks.
