Why does my screen go blue after a time

After my Acer Aspire 5740 has been on for a time, when I try to 'wake it' I just getr aq blue screen. On occasion I get the Windows picture text on the blue b=ut nothing else. The only way I've managed to get it back on is to let the battery run right down and re-start. Any ideas please?

What version of Windows are you using? Could you update this post with a picture of the message that you get on the blue screen?

Sounds like it's overheating. Have you tried cleaning out the heat vents and the fan?
