Laptop behaves abnormally aspire 3

I have an aspire 3, and it switches it self off when I'm not using it and when I turn it back on it's stuck in the "Acer" logo. I have to press and hold the power button to kill the power and when I turn it on again it switches on normally. And another issue is the GPU dosn't seem to be detected sometimes ether I have to restart the laptop to work with it. It works normally with the GPU and when I close the application and open it again it says I don't have the minimum specs. But the plus side is it doesn't happen always. The only thing I'm concerned is that I did repast the CPU and the GPU. So please help me 🥺

With the laptop turned off, remove the charger. Then insert a paperclip into the reset pinhole on the bottom for about 30 seconds. Then plug the charger back in. Wait for the battery charge LED to turn from solid orange to solid blue. Then turn the laptop back on. Then open Control Panel. Search 'button'. Click 'change what the power buttons do' in left pane. Click 'change setttings that are currently unavailable' Scroll down and uncheck the box for fast startup if not already unchecked. Then shut down Windows normally. Turn the laptop back on again.

Hi Fadhil20,

# Try to get the BIOS page.

1. Turn OFF the unit.

2. Press and hold the F2 key and turn on the unit.
3. You will be in setup utility page.
4. Once you got the screen release the F2 key.
5. Tap on F9 key and hit enter key without changing the option.
6. Tap on F10 key and hit enter key without changing the option.
7. Your unit will restart by itself.

Check this T/S and post the result.
