You could also try a battery reset, switch off the laptop, disconnect from mains(remove AC adapter) and follow the instructions in the video:https://us.answers.acer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/34843/~/acer-internal-battery-reset
If the issue persists, try to boot your laptop in safe mode. To begin entering Windows 7 Safe Mode, turn on or restart your PC. Immediately after the computer is powered on or restarted (usually after you hear your computer beep), tap the F8 key in 1 second intervals.
Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, highlight either the Safe Mode and press Enter. After you login into windows, make any changes you need to make and then restart the computer. Assuming there are no remaining issues preventing it, the computer should boot to Windows 7 normally after a restart.

There's a micro switch just above the RAM module, when you open the memory door, it cuts the power to the motherboard, there's a rubber pad on the door and when you close the door it presses this button and switch on the power for motherboard.
Open the memory door at the back, inspect whether the rubber pad is worn out or the switch is damaged. If the rubber pad is worn out or damaged, use some electrical tape to expand it's thickness so that it can make proper contact with the switch.
Microswitch is marked with red square and the pad is with yellow rectangle in my snip.
I have the same laptop and sometimes it shuts itself down unexpectedly.
Am I able to jump the terminals to bypass the switch? Even if only to test.
