Probably a corrupted bootloader on the boot drive, could also be a bad boot drive sector if an HDD "spinner". Best to bring the laptop to Acer Services in your country to reset the system to factory default or if you want to check the boot drive first, take the drive out, mount it in a USB HDD/SSD case and diagnose the drive on another PC with disk testing freeware like GSmartControl. You can then also copy all your data and reformat the HDD for security.

Which TravelMate do you have? Your full model number is usually on the same sticker as your serial number, it should look something like TMxxx-xxx-xxxx. As suggested the issue is most likely with the drive, either it's failing or something has changed it recently.
