Not really surprised that it's from an Acer system. :-)

If it's recent enough, *maybe* they can help if you got it under a warranty.

I'd pull out anything that didn't come with the system.

While it's still running, backup your data....

Power supply would probably shut down your system immediately or rebooting.

Bad memory normally would give a blue screen. You could get into the Vista
boot manager and run the memory diagnostics to rule it out.
