Problem with Acer Aspire 5742G

nelson916

Hello people

When I turn my laptop on, just before the «OS is initializing» the laptop shuts down, and right after this happened I turned my laptop on again and it shuts down even more quickly. There is one thing interesting, I remove the power cable and I put it back again and I start my laptop and it goes to the «OS is initializing» and then it shuts down again and I turn on again and it shuts down even more quickly again. So what I do to start the laptop is to remove the power cable and put it back again and then I turn my laptop on and I press F2 for boot menu and then I stay there for at least 10 minutes doing nothing and then I leave the boot menu pressing the discard changes or save changes and then with this way I can «enter» so to speak, to my laptop. I know it's confusing, believe me, I'm really confused as well. I don't think its overheat because it is clean,the thermical paste is on and I use a software to see the temperatures (Speedfan for example).

 

I hope someone can help me with this.

It sounds like a possible syncing issue with your BIOS. If you haven't, make sure the date and time are correct and restore defaults in the BIOS and let it sit there for 30 minutes before saving changes and exiting to see if that fixes it.
