    I only briefly scanned this whole thread. I've worked on a couple Acer laptops recently that had similar issues. One laptop was sent back to Acer twice w/ no good results. What I did to get it running smooth was:
    1. delete reg values of unneeded startup apps
    2. delete all start menu/programs/startup entries
    3. config services for optimum performance
    4. disable ALL Acer programs that load at boot.

    Laptop now runns well. I believe a key was disabling the Acer hardware mgmt software as it seems to "hook" in between drivers and Windows. I never understand why these manufacturers create & employ utilities that Windows already includes, such as power mgmt & user settings. The Acer power mgmt seems to be the culprit.
