I'm having with my Acer Aspire, run on Windows 7. So here's the problem, about a couple months ago, I went to go onto my computer, turned it on, and I noticed it was acting a bit slow, so as I go to click on the internet, it freezes up. And I wait for it for a good ten minutes to see if it will do anything, but no. So I was forced to crash it. I turn it back on, and it does the same thing! It was very frustrating. So I used "Safe Mode with Networking" so I could do all my basic internet stuff. But I tried to go back on regular and see if I could create a restore point. It restarted and everything fine, but only for about ten minutes. And I've tried and tried to do it again, and I just can't take it anymore! I don't have the money to have anyone fix it. I just need some help. I don't know what's wrong with it. This problem happens all the time, not just for the internet, but any program. I would just like to be able to use my computer on normal mode INSTEAD of safe mode. Safe mode is so annoying, big giant screen, no sound, unable to use half of my programs, including my Zune software. I cannot even update my Zune MP3 player because safe mode won't read it. Also, the disk drive doesn't even work.
I have an acer aspire desktop, which I recently restored, or attempted to anyway. It has become stuck on a screen saying 'software installation' then a loading bar with 'installing nvidia vga 3d vision above it. it has been like this for at least ten hours, and seems to have gotten nowhere. I tried turning it off, but it just resumes in the same place, anyone know anything?
I accidentally reinstalled the wrong Operating System Recovery CD on my Acer Aspire 5534 laptop, and I want to return it back to factory settings. How do I do I restore it back to factory settings?

i have random freezes sometimes they are glitchy and rarely bsod all on bootup or up to about half hour in (which also turns of the mouse). also Internet doesn't autoplay playlists and all sugestions next to the video are black. this started a few weeks to a month ago, first it seemed just a minor annoyance but it started to become more often the last few days. i've tried some checks but without success. also i remember the week before those crashes that twice the screen driver crashed for a second or 2 and then a message popped up about how a monitor driver crash was adjusted, always when i played a certain game that is still in beta so i taught it was the game.
My audio was working well, but i decided to start recording find a way to improve my outbound audio quality (i'm an audiophile). I purchased a Fast Track Pro. Unlike other threads I've read, I'm not seeing any BSOD and its not crackling. My operating system will just stop functioning, or freeze for a half a second at a time. This can become frequent at about 10 times in a thirty second period requiring a restart. I had installed the latest x64 driver for my W7 x64 system from M-audio's website.
I uninstalled the driver and restarted, the issue persisted. I then installed the on-board audio driver and restarted, no system lag is present. The audio device-driver is acting up and I'm not sure why. Because i bought it used M-audio's support is a no-go. Are there any additional steps I can take which may troubleshoot this issue?
I installed Windows 7 32 bit with no issues on an Acer Aspire 3690. Later I found out the single core processor (a Celeron M 420) is compatible with 64-bit.
So I tried installing the 64 bit version and everything goes smoothly until the final reboot. Then I get a warning about the installation failing, and it reverts to 32. On boot I get "This version of Windows could not be installed. Your previous version of Windows has been restored" blah blah etc.
I tried the upgrade advisor and it warned that my half-gig of ram is low, but otherwise it should be ok.
i have an acer aspire 3620 which came with windows xp. i removed xp and loaded on windows 7, my problem now is that i cannot find a graphics driver to run the system.
I am running a acer aspire 5336-2524 and i am trying to use a vga, however, i am getting no sound from my t.v. i figure that that is just because i dont have the sound driver for vga, is this the case and where can i find it?
I have an acer aspire one and when I turn it on it doesn't ask me to type my password even though I have set one. I have tried resetting my password but it still doesn't make a difference.
I already have windows 7 fom start on my acer aspire 521. Then it got slower, so I installed 2Gb memory. Now its getting slower again.So I want to fully reinstall the software from scratch. I do not have an recovery disk from the binning. So what is the procedure and do i have to reformat the c drive or can it be done without?I don't want the old registry and so on, because thats one of the problems I think.
i recently was using a product called ptedit32. In which i was trying to unhide my pq service to see what was in there. So i changed its boot from hidden to active.(0C was changed to 07) with the other three partitions being 07 as well. This has turned out bad for me now. It seems there is a mbr that is not being recognized. I turn the acer 0ne aspire d255e on and the machine goes to a screen that say can't load windows due to recent hardware or software changes.Status: 0xc0000225It also ask to have the installation disk inserted, of which there is'nt one and the computer doesn't have a dvd/cd drive anyway. It was all on the pq service, which is the hidden partition. I've tried flashing the acer pc as well from usb. and can't get that to work.
Most desktop monitors, when inactive for periods of time(usually preset in o.s. or altered for individual tastes) saves electricity by powering down the monitor, and let it "sleep", but any programs running on the cpu, continue on, unabated. But with these Acer Aspire All-in-one compters are different, i may be listening to an internet radio station, and even though it's not a computer program running,,after a time of inactivity of my manually working (via my keyboard) or something like that, the screen goes black and it kills the internet connection to the internet radio i am listening to. Yes,,if that happens,,i only have to jiggle or move my mouse to turn the screen back on, but is a real pain to have to continually jar the mouse to keep the radio on. Any ideas on how to avoid this black screen of killing my internet radio, and downloads??or anything going on ,while the screen is active?
I have a problem with my laptop. It's 3 years old but it's still fuctioing verry vell, accept that every time I try to start it the BSOD apears, and that happens about 2-3 times the it start normaly.
i have a acer aspire one 255 my windows is not working but it doesn't have a disk drive installing with usb dosn't work . can i take the hdd and install my windows on my sony vaio because has a disk drive.
so my just over a year old laptop fell off of my bed today. When trying to turn on the black acer screen comes up and a few seconds later it restarts. I have tried f 8, just beeps, f 12 still nothing but beeping, alt 10 same. I have tried removing the harddrive and starting it, still nothing. I then tried removing the ram one at a time, still nothing. Could the mother board off went bad?
I am working with backing up my computer and I am dazzled by all the dvd R and RW and minus and plus etc. My dvd drive is listed like this: DVD +or - RW (+ or - DL)/DVD Ram. I am probably on the wrong board but I couldn't get on the "internal hardware" I have no idea what all this means. All I know is that DVD+RW seems to work. The clerk told me that I had better be sure what my dvd drive uses.
I have an ACER One (Model A0531h) netbook. I have now tried several times to recovery it to factory settings using the built in recovery partition. I access this recovery partition by using Alt-f10 during boot. The recovery runs fine up until 99% where it 'sticks'.. for days..The application running the recovery is Acer eRecovery Manager v7.5.15. I have also recovering using the recovery DVD's which I burned. They seem to go through the process but then when I restart the system I get a black screen complaining about missing files. I am then instructed to run recovery...This is driving me crazy. I have also reseated the RAM but dont want to have to strip of the cover to reseat hard drive. I can however hear it running and I have also used Active@boot to reformat the C drive. The recovery partition has not been touched and is not damaged. It runs perfectly up to 99%.
I am using an Acer Aspire 5517, running Windows 7 Home Premium (Service Pack 1). While using it, every few minutes the system will hang. It becomes completely unresponsive and the cursor turns into a waiting icon (spinning circle) for anywhere from 30 seconds to a couple minutes before it becomes responsive again. It doesn't seem to matter what programs are running, I've seen it happen after a reboot while just using Windows Explorer. Norton Antivirus scans are clean. I also ran Malware Bytes, which cleaned up a few items but the problems persist. I'm not sure if there is other malware on the computer.
