Brand Spanking New Laptop Freezing

This is the second time around I've had to write this as I just had to restart my laptop again, so I'll be brief.
I just got a new Acer Aspire 7745 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit OS on it. I like it for the most part - Windows 7 is pretty and it seems to be fast - but my big problem with it is that it likes to freeze.
I've noticed that it either freezes when a) I am starting it up or getting it out of sleep mode, or b) When I try to repair my wireless connection. Sometimes there is a problem with my wireless and it says I have "limited connectivity" even though I can connect with the wireless quite well with my iPod Touch. When I go to repair this, it freezes.
Admittedly, I'm not the best at technology and so I would appreciate any help that anyone would be willing to offer. For what it's worth, the event log is spoiler'd below. And before anyone asks, I have run Windows Update and gotten the bloatware off of the laptop. I just received it in the mail yesterday. I'm wouldn't hesitate sending it back for a replacement, but I would like to avoid that if at all possible.
I would appreciate any help that is available. Thanks!

Uninstalling third party apps can usually be safe, but say uninstalling 'Acer' related things can be hit or miss. Did you do any of that?
