Aspire 3 A135-42G freezes after unppluging charger
After a few months not using my Aspire 3, I turned it on and updated everything I could with Windows Update. After some charging, I unppluged and continued using my PC. It was still updating when suddenly the screen froze, followed after some time with the blue screen of death and a message saying something about "POWER STATE DRIVER", then the PC started to become hot (No, it's not dust on the fan stuff. The PC is less the an year old, barely used, and stayed in a case most of the time). After force shutting down and restarting, the screen stayed black, with the power led on, with the pc getting hot once again after a while. It never reached the Acer logo screen. Just when I plugged back on the charger and tried to force restart again, the PC completly turned on. Then every single time I took the charger off, the screen froze again. Since then, I researched and tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to work. It seems to be related to the October update, I guess. Please, somebody help me!
Here are the things I tried so far, without success:
- Tried updating the BIOS to 1.11
- Tried reinstalling Win 10 2004. It worked as far as I could see, but as soon as I updated again back to latest 20h2, the problem started again
- Tried unistalling the graphic driver and then used the "search for changes" option
- Tried disabling the grapich driver
NOTES:
*After one of these try outs (don't know precisely which), the PC stopped freezing, but if I try rebooting it, the screen stays black all the time, with power led on, and heats again, unless if it's charging and just then I try to turn on, in which case the PC turns on normally. If the screen is already black and I try to plug-in after that, the PC stays frozen.
*The same black screen happens if the PC goes idle without charging. I try to wake it up, the screen lights in black with the power led on once again, the PC heats, but that's it, I can't go back to use the PC. With the charger on, none of these problems happen.
*Just to make it clear again, there's no dust on the fan stuff. The PC is less the an year old, barely used, and stayed in a case most of the time.
