The hangs described in this bug report have been fixed for me. It was, it seems, a RAM hardware issue which my computer store was refusing to aknowledge and blaming Linux for it.
I did however update the BIOS as you suggested, and it seems there are no more ACPI kernel errors as I only get these warnings now,
