I have an aspire 5100 that did the same thing for about the 1st year
that I had it. I tried all sorts of things, but no change. It would
freeze with a weird pattern on the screen and nothing would bring it
back. I forget if the power button worked or if I had to pull the
battery to get it to turn off. It was very annoying as whatever I would
be working on would be lost.
I tried reinstalling windows, upgrading drivers, the works, no luck.
I gave up on trying to fix it and just saved frequently.
Now it works flawlessly - I don't know what fixed it, and I don't know
what was wrong, but it doesn't lock up anymore at all. I can't remember
the last time it froze.
My guess was the wireless drivers, but I have nothing to substantiate
it. Try using it with the wireless turned off and see if that changes
anything.
