Thanks for the concern. I'm still having the isse by the way. I don't think it's same as bug 222171 as you pointed, but I'll try it if my next steps, from following the news on bug 415023, don't work.

How can I tell what hardware this is / what do you want to know from it?

From the model, it is a MSI 163-A http://www.msiwhitebook.com/product_spec.asp?model=MS-163A
I'll copy hardware info from that link, juts in case:

Maybe this is a long shot, but it might be related: I'm no longer using its "official" AC adapter, as it crashed. I got one from a very good store here in Brazil and paid big on it. I figure it's better to use local AC than from other country as its components are assembled for our local power structure and tested here as well, so are less likely to malfunction again.

Believe it or not, I had many issues with power and computers in the past (way over 5 years ago) that were really hard to diagnose. I was getting random blue screens of doom and it was proven to be due to power instability.
