Possible PSU problem ACER Aspire 8940G

BlueNight

This darned laptop has gave me so much trouble over the past few weeks and after running mutiple stress tests and switching my OS to Ubuntu Linux distro i think i have finnaly found the culprate. that being said I need two things from y'all, first the problems i had were as followed. #1: on windows 10 it would frequently black screen then freeze then cut off or just black screen or black screen and freeze while doing anything more than using chrome, Plex, or non-demanding tasks. #2: Once I switched to Ubuntu the blackouts stoped but it will still hang, and sometimes after hanging, restart; this again will happen if i try doing anything more demanding than watcing youtube. Before somone asks no it isn't over heating and yes i checked to make sure it wasn't the MEM or the GPU. jwhat i have concluded is it's the PSU inside the computer, If you agree then does anyone know how to get a replacement and or repair it? Thanks for your time.

I assume you mean this happens whether or not the external charger is attached? If so, seems to me more like an electrical short via an errant case or board screw. Jack E/NJ
