Acer Aspire AME600-UR378 has stopped working. Please Help!
Hello,
So about a year ago my Acer Aspire AME600-UR378 began to experience some lag issues when I was playing games. The game would freeze for increasing amounts of time and each time it froze I would just restart my desktop. Eventually, the desktop stopped loading and I couldn't get it past the Acer Logo. Today, when I turn on the desktop, the monitor is receiving no signal from the desktop even though the Desktop turns on and the fans run.
Some things I've tried are:
- Switching monitors and switching the input output from HDMI to VGA from the onboard graphics card (I have already removed the graphics card I bought online and installed).
- Taking out the Hard drive (same result)
- CMOS battery reset: This one was the most interesting because I did a CMOS battery reset once (without the hard drive plugged in) and I was able to navigate the BIOS screen. I wasn't sure what I was doing and just hit save and exit and I was taken to a screen that told me that I needed to plug in the hard drive to continue. When I did that I went back to square one and receiving no signal. I haven't been able to get back to the BIOS screen yet even though I've replicated the process many times. I have been taken to the black screen where it says it needs a hard drive to run a couple times, but not recently.
Essentially, the issue is that on startup I am getting no signal, and it seems that I was only able to stumble onto the BIOS screen once and can't seem to get back to it. I have tried holding F10, F2, and DEL on startup to try and get there but I still get no signal. I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer so I can get it back up and running again. Thanks in advance!
