Hi There,
I bought my Acer over 2 years ago so its out of warranty, its been plagued by issues since buying it to be honest, but i managed to sort most of the issues out until a month ago.
- i would be playing a game and then suddenly i got a bsod and the pc rebooted, didnt have time to write down the error.
-Since the first bsod it never showed up again, instead the pc would just randomly restart without any warning
- i then noticed that i could be on youtube etc for hours with no issue, but playing a game within 5 mins i would get the restart, however some days it would play just fine for hours and hours.
- i decided to run a memory test using the windows memory diagnostic, it came back saying there was an issue, so i removed one of the 4GB ram chips, leaving my PC with 12GB of RAM, ran the test again and memory check was fine.
- however now i'm presented with a different issue where the pc just randomly freezes (no messages pop up) it can happen in game, just on the desktop, and it even freezes when restarting the pc, either at windows logo, or even before.
- but what is odd is when i can get the pc to boot and not freeze i can play games for hours and hours without issue.....but everytime i restart the pc or turn it off for the night i know its going to freeze up again.
-at the moment i have moved the RAM chips around and managed to atleast get onto this website to post.
I really am at a loss here, endless issues and when i think its fixed another issue pops up.
any help would be great as i feel its only a matter of time before the pc freezes again.
Windows 0S - 7 home premium
model - Acer Aspire M3450
