there was nothing wrong with the machine, but its all the crap acer put on it especially the acer empowerism, in the end after the warranty was up i reformatted and installed my own windows 7.
the reason for this is that the acer empowerism controlls everything especially the laptop fan, as it does not run on a temperature basis but on a time basis which is controlled by the machine, so the laptop overheats especially if u try to take out the power option of the empowerism.
u can google this like i did and will find lots of ppl with the same prob with the empowerism. The other problem i had is if u let the computer go into hibernate, then wen u bring it out of hibernate then the fans do not kick in and the laptop overheats and shuts down. but on reboot the fans are fine, again i dont know if this is specific to the acer 5315 or it is due to their empowerism software (google it!!)
note this is only my opinion about acer laptops

Please go on. I don't think I had this problem with the installed Vista. I got rid of this and installed a copy of W7. It doesn't natively support my webcam which isn't an issue as I have no need for one however if it cannot control my fan then it becomes an issue. I have tried "Speedfan" but it doesn't help as it cannot recognise the stuff connected.
LTSpice used to run fine but despite all my mods and copper shimms, it is the only program that can bring my HP to stop.
