Ubuntu 15.10 (tried other versions as well using both installed and live CDs) on an Acer Aspire E5-574 . When you try to suspend the computer using either the power button, fn-f4 or pm-suspend the computer immediately powers off. Nothing useful in the pm-suspend.log
which is included below:

Sun Dec 27 12:26:35 IST 2015: performing suspend
As you can see, it gets cut off abruptly at the point at witch the machines powers off.
Has anyone seen this before? Is there a remedy?
