What i'm worried about is the horror stories of support from Acer. This is a great PC but it's crap that it's dodgy out of box. If I had the money, I would have gone for a HP or something with better support.
Ok i've fixed it. It seems that the drivers for the graphics are quite aged yet www.acer.co.uk does not offer any later versions than the one I received with the PC.

I tried to install the latest drivers from nvidia.com/drivers however for some bizzare reason the Driver setup would not detect that I had a Geforce card! I then used these (Beta) and it appears to have fixed the problem: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1315

Hope this helps anyone who may have the problem.
