First, to start a new thread, you have to write a new mail. If you hit rply to and change the subject, you are highjacking someone thread. Then, yes, I do have the same problem on Acer aspire 5715z. The way out was to install by small pieces, ie: standard instaal withot desktop, then the desktop by small pieces. Now, its working OK. It shut off on some videos, but not all. Strange. Also, to install, I used a fan to blow fresh air into the laptop. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
