So yesterday

Acer called me back... Asked what the problem is... I told them it burnt up again. They asked some questions, I mentioned linux... they said that LINUX caused it to burn up again and they aren't covering it.

The version of linux I chose is specifically designed to be easy on the hardware and run cooler. It has laptop management functions and is pretty stable. It was not linux. I may be contacting a lawyer.

In the mean time, I don't think it's a heat issue... I was able to reformat linux and it ran fine for a day. Got a chill mat and it still "burnt up".

Haven't reformatted yet, but I don't want to have to every other day.... I'm going to have to figure out the issue. It has to be hardware....

Oh, and I forgot... last time they had it, they replaced the motherboard, processor and heatsink... then the tech said that they "fixed it to make you happy". So they threw parts at it to make me happy.... sounds like a great strategy.
