New Acer-TravelMate P2510-G2-M Deadly stuck continuously

Hey Guys,

Hope you are all good

I have purchased the new Acer-TravelMate P2510-G2-M recently, and after 2 or may be 3 days, I faced some serious deadly stuck problem on it. From couple of days, My laptop was stucking without any reason, and its continuous stuck again and again with the gap of some hours. When it's stuck, only the keyboard back light works and all other things will be stuck and then I have no other choice to the force shut down the system( hole the power button for 8 to 10 seconds) and then start the laptop again.

I am not sure that the problem is in window or in the hardware.

Any suggestions gurus ??

Thanks,
Omer

To rule in or rule out a hardware issue on a new machine, try the ALT+F10 cold boot factory reset. Force a shutdown again by pressing and holding the power button till it shuts off completely. Then turn it back on and ***immediately*** press and hold the ALT key while tapping the F10 key till a recovery screen appears. Don't wait the the ACER splash screen to appear. Follow directions as in the video below to reset the machine to a factory fresh state. If the problem isn't fixed, then return the machine to the seller/vendor ASAP for a refund or exchange.

Did you install Win10 with UEFI bootstrap or Legacy BIOS? If you don't know, press WINkey + Rkey. Enter msinfo32.exe. What BIOS version number do you see in right panel? Is it UEFI mode or Legacy mode? Jack E/NJ

hi this is what i get there jack

JackE

Yes, you seem to have installed Win10 pro correctly with UEFI bootstrapper.
(1) Did the machine freeze up or get stuck immediately after the installation?
(2) How did you acquire the Win10 pro installation media?
(3) Was there any problems activating installation by Microsoft?
(4) Open Control Panel, search restore point. Click create a restore point in left panel. Make sure system protection is enabled. And click on system restore button. Next. The check box to show more restore points. How many restore points and dates do you have listed?

(1) yes !!! You can say that... because i didn't used DOC for long time. The day when i purchased the laptop i will install window on it. so i noticed after few days the laptop freezing and stuck continuously.
(2) Download the installer From Microsoft and then install from there. using bootstrap usb to install
(3) No i guess not

I don't get it your point..
i installed window and after that going to the properties and enter product key. i didn't enter product key while installing window. i added after that '

JackE

I was trying to find out how the installation got the license key since it would not automatically get this license key from your mainboard as with factory installed Win10.

So if your laptop did not freeze before Nov 29th, then I suggest you restore the machine to that point. Jack E/NJ

I am so fed up with his,

Jack, did you hear that about this type of issue or similar issue before in the acer laptops. I didn't hear that in my entire life

thanks

JackE

Unlike earlier Windows versions, Win10 automatically deletes its update restore points usually after only a few weeks. This rapid deletion seems to be part of Microsoft's new & unimproved Windows10 lifecycle policy with rapid-fire heavy-handed major updates that are almost like entirely new versions of Windows under the old Microsoft naming conventions. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13853/windows-lifecycle-fact-sheet . It's plaguing many manufacturers of fairly new machines that shipped with earlier versions of Wn10. And the policy itself seems to change from month to month.

Unfortunately, if Win10update problems aren't discovered or identified before its restore point is automatically deleted, then the only options are to either get in the habit of making regular system image backups or reset/reinstall the original Win10 version after backing up all the personal data and apps installed since.

I'm gonna guess you're now stuck for now with major update version 1809 and hope one of its maintenance updates will be released soon to fix the problem. You can check this by pressing the WIN key + R key and entering winver. If the freezing becomes intolerable, I can only suggest that you reinstall Win10 with the original installation stick and make sure system protection is enabled so an update restore point is created and temporarily block that update. You can also press WIN key + R key and enter services.msc. Scroll down the list to Windows update, right click on it's properties, then change automatic to manual. I may also help to stop at least major updates by right clicking on the Windows start icon in the taskbar. Click Settings. Click System. Click Offline maps. Turn off both metered connections and map updates. Jack E/NJ

Jack,

You are right, just check my window version is 1809.
Also, what is your mean by that "reinstall Win10 with the original installation stick" ?? what is the original installation stick ???

System protection is already enabled

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6029997/uploads/editor/7h/7h4zj13bm2rj.jpg

Windows update is already on manual on services.msc

Also i can't find "Offline maps" on system section

Thanks JackE

omerbutt123>>>Also, what is your mean by that "reinstall Win10 with the original installation stick" ?? what is the original installation stick>>>

>>>You said earlier >>>My laptop came with DOS. and i install window 10 >>>
Whatever you used to originally install Win10. I assumed it was a USB installation stick. Could be a DVD installation disk. What did you use? I'm guessing that Win10 version was 1803 or earlier and is compatible with your system.

Don't worry about offline Maps for now. Changing auto to manual update in services should help prevent 1809 or one of its maintenance updates from sneaking in again. Just double-check that system protection is turned ON in the first create restore point box in Control Panel.

i was used USB Stick to install the window.... not DVD, Can i used USB stick again instead of DVD ??

So its confirmed, there is no solution rather than the install new window again ??? can i used my other restore point or its better to clean new window install ??? If yes so how can i install the window version 1803 instead of 1809 ??

I show you my screen shot earlier there is the system protection is ON on C drive

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6029997/uploads/editor/xq/i7mbzqvbh3rb.jpg

But on D drive my system protection is disabled.. should i enabled the system protection is ON on D drive as well ???

about the services updates i still see the this screen shot. this is what you want ??

Thanks

JackE

Yes, you can use the same Windows10 USB stick. Install all Win10 partitions on the C drive. The D drive is for data not Win10 system partitions but you can enable system protection on the D drive if you want. The other restore points won't help you since they came after the date the problem started. Jack E/NJ

OKay, Thanks Jack,

One last question, I have another laptop which is i using from a decay (dell i3). and the both laptop are using the same window. but i just realized on the dell laptop its still showing me the 1803 version. and when i go to the update section to update the window so its showing me that "you are up to date" Why is that ?? while on this laptop i using 1809 how it is possible. I repeat, Same window on both devices.

Also, If i install the new window for using the usb stick as you said. how can i sure that the version 1803 will be install ??

Or should i install the window only on C drive and didn't format my D drive and keep all the data in D drive ?? Or is that necessary to reset all the PC to factory reset including D as well ????

Thanks Jack

JackE

The1809 update ***correctly*** detected that the DELL hardware was incompatible so it did not install and left it at 1803. A future major update may or may not eventually install. The big problem with 1809 and (all previous major Win10 updates) is when it ***INcorrectly*** detects that hardware is compatible and then installs. You should be thankful the DELL is still on 1803!

You should only install Win10 on the C drive, preferrably with the D drive temporarily disconnected so it doesn't interfere with the installation. Once your system is running correctly on Win10, then re-connect the D drive.

Jack E/NJ

omerbutt123

Okay.. Thanks Jack for clarification,

What about the version 1803 ? How can i sure that the window version is 1803 which is i install on my system ??

Also, How can i disconnect my D drive while installation, i only know the method where both drives show as "primary as secondary" while install the window. But i don't know the method that how could i disconnect the D drive.

Thanks

JackE

When you re-install Win10 from your USB stick, please temporarily disconnect your router from the internet so that NO automatic updates can be installed until you make sure system protection is enabled in the Control Panel restore point section. This must be done AFTER you install from your USB stick.

If you don't know how to disconnect D drive, then probably you should keep it connected. Just make sure all Windows installation files and partitions are on the C drive.
