    YES...

    update to the NEWEST BIOS VERSION available for YOUR MODEL

    do the BIOS UPDATE FIRST READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS and only try to flash with AC POWER plugged in and the battery fully charged....

    then reboot.. and install the atheros driver from the link above next... then reboot and see if the problems go away
