does this only happen when on battery power?
if not, are you connected to a UPS or another power backup system?

how much free space do you have on the hard drive that windows is installed on?

when you say that you 'restarted my computer to its factory defualts' are you saying you put in the CD and restored the computer's software and such to how it came? did Acer or the place you bought it give you a Windows install CD? If so, and your personal data is backed up, try formatting the hard drive and installing a clean copy of windows.

maybe you're running into what Microsoft is detailing in the following document, and you can request the hotfix they have:
