Hi.

I recently bought an Acer aspire Laptop with windows 10 installed, and it has caused me nothing but trouble since the day I bought it.

I purchased it two weeks ago and I haven't had one full day of use from it, and now it is practically useless.

Out of the box, everything installed perfectly and the computer worked fine for a short time. Then the computer would start crashing intermittently giving various error codes:

WHEA UNCORRECTABLE ERROR

KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE

CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT

DPC WATCHDOG VIOLATION

DRIVER IRQI NOT LESS OR EQUAL

MACHINE CHECK EXCEPTION

DRIVER OVERRAN STACK BUFFER

RESOURCE NOT OWNED

The main two errors I encountered were CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT & KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE. 

I then decided that I should just reset the PC back to factory settings since I had nothing on it I was afraid of losing. 

That worked fine at first, then it started crashing again randomly. 

So I tried to reset the computer again, this time with no success. So I downloaded the windows 10 media creation tool and installed it from a USB drive.

That also worked at first. Then it started crashing again, giving some of the errors mentioned above. 

As a last resort, I decided to reinstall the OS again, from the USB drive and from the system partition, but now I can't even get past the CLOCK WATCHDOG TIMEOUT error. 

Nothing works. I can't even reinstall Windows. 

I'm not usually one to complain, and I'm willing to accept that there can be a few hiccups along the way, but now the PC is practically useless and it's only two weeks old. Surely it shouldn't be this hard?

I'd be truly thankful to anyone who can help. I hope I've given enough info.
