    Can you flash the BIOS to the latest version if you haven't done so?
    Checking the RAM might help as well.

    Had issues with two acers with resource conflicts. What I did is removed the wireless card internally, bootup the laptop into windows, shut down the computer, and put the wireless card back in. Worked great for me, hopefully it works for you.
