Hello Community,

in juni I bought an acer switch 3. Now I experience some troubles with it. It tends to freeze random and also tends to restart itself without me doing anything. I also resetted the whole system but it does not seem to help. I deactivated the Settings due to save energy, so it should not go in sleep mode or whatsoever. Thank you

Greetings
Alex

    >>Try to reset BIOS to default settings. Start your computer and as soon as you hit the Power On button, keep pressing the F2 key. You can simply hit the F9 key to display a blue screen that says Load Setup defaults? Clicking "no" to discard changes and exit from BIOS.

    Also, be in BIOS scren for 10 to 15 minutes and see if the device shuts down automatically.
    If it shuts down while in BIOS, it could be a device issue. if not it  is an windows related issue.

    Let us know the status of the issue. We will be glad to assist u further.

    I am having the same problem. I followed the steps and it still freezes. I like the laptop but not crazy about this issue.
  • Have you checked if there are any drivers with problems in the device manager? What version of bios is installed on your notebook?

    And does it freeze while sitting in the BIOS menus?

    It is a SWITCH 3 SW312-31-P946. BIOS V1.12.
  • Have you tried upgrading windows and notebook drivers? I suggest that when doing these procedures, you back up your personal files and turn on system protection! The most correct way to update a driver would be to copy the devices idhardware on google. However, there are programs like driverbooster or driverpack that update the drivers, but system protection is required!

    While updating bios is an extremely risky procedure, I suggest you try downloading the latest version available to see if it fixes your issue: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/BIOS/BIOS/BIOS_Acer_1.13_A_A.zip?acerid=636686052129737248&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=SWITCH&Step3=SW312-31&OS=ALL&LC=pt&BC=ACER&SC=PA_3
    As it is a risky procedure that could turn your notebook into a brick, I do not take any responsibility for any damage!

    Im facing the same problem when charger is connected, works really well on battery, charger works fine and it charges the device. I bought another charger and it worked perfect for a month  then the same problem came back again. 
  • @ziaddolehHave you tried upgrading drivers with the driverpack or driverbooster program?
