Boot Acer Aspire E1 problem

I have an Acer Aspire model E1 Q5WPH, runnng Windows 8.  All has been well until this week when the screen started flashing random colours.

I put the power off and then it won't start back upward.  Power seems to happen as it starts the DVD player, but then the power led goes off - then turn it back on and the process continues until I turned off the machine again.

Is this a known problem and is there anything to do about it?

Hello

Check if you have the extended warranty or service plan of the store that you got of the device, which can help you save a few $s.

  • I have a DATE TIME / CMOS / BIOS with my Acer Aspire 5742Z problem

    Hello

    Newbie here...

    I have a strange problem with my Acer Aspire 5742Z (UK), which I think may be the BIOS or CMOS area...

    MAIN PROBLEM

    Guard reset BIOS default time (00: 00:00 on 01/01/2009)... OR... a time '' close '' to what it is supposed to be...

    MAIN STEPS IN THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ISSUE...  WHAT I'VE DONE

    Removed the main battery and then replaced the CMOS battery twice (in the case of a failure)

    Main battery insert it again.

    The clocks of the BIOS (using F2) countless times, but there's rarely / or is correct.

    STRANGENESS...

    During startup in Windows 7, it almost always does not show the same date and time that I entered the BIOS.

    For example, if I go home at 21:35 on August 28, 2014 using F2, when I boot on Windows, the date and time may say August 23, 2014 at 3:25 pm ish...

    POWER OFF

    If I turn it off and turn off and then turn on, restart the time in BIOS is correct... to 21:43 29/08/2014 (that I have record for good measure).

    If I continue, Windows reads now August 23 at 15:32

    ADJUST the WINDOWS TIM E (UK)

    So, then I change the time of Windows Date to Friday, August 29, 2014 21:48.

    JUST FYI: the PARAMETERS of ZONE SCHEDULE are checked and no changes: (UTC), Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

    PANEL, LANGUAGE AND REGION, English in the United Kingdom, short time 21:48, short Date: 29/08/2014

    GEOGRAPHICAL area: United Kingdom

    now, everything seems correct.

    TURN OFF AGAIN and wait a few minutes.

    YOU turn it back ON, and then press F2 that (this time) shows the BIOS default date and time in 2009

    If I continue in windows without changing the BIOS date and time dafault, Windows now displays as 23:02 31/12/2008

    :-(

    That's all.

    I would really appreciate help fixing this problem that makes me nuts!

    Thanks in advance!

    ...   Just in case anyone reads this...

    I just updated my BIOS for the next issue, and the problem has.

    I guess that maybe the BIOS got corrupted!

    I used the simple approach and no short layout has been involved.  I deliberately did not go for the latest BIOS just in case where he brought new questions and confused the situation.

  • Acer Aspire its problems after Win 7 Pro and the new installed HARD drive

    I have an acer aspire 8735 laptop g-6502 which has recently undergone a WD 500 GB drive HARD failure. I replaced that with a 7200 RPM Hitachi 1 TB drive and given that I don't have a Win 7 original used a disk Win 7 Pro with an extra friend.

    Windows 7 Pro and HARD disk installation went smooth. But now when I plug an HDMI cable to watch through my Marantz receiver, comes from the video, but I have to do manually the Marantz the default audio device for sound. When I unplug the HDMI, I must return to the parameters of sound and unenable Marantz and re - activate the Realtek audio.

    Before the drive died HARD, happen all perfectly when you plug the HDMI cable in and the fact to disconnect without any fiddling around with settings.

    I also have a few other questions:
    1. the touch volume control next to the numeric keypad does not control the volume more
    2. the keyboard key used to have a setting to display it. You can use two fingers on a tablet to drag the image to the screen bigger and smaller.

    I looked the site of Acer and also used my drive Application and drivers to reinstall everything that looked related to these issues. When first, I installed Win 7 Pro I let Windows find the appropriate drivers. It worked for some things but not others.

    Any ideas? I have a few scratches on my face and my forehead in frustration pain making me beat me here. Funny, but true, so all ideas are appreciated!

    Here's my screen design Mgr impression - there's an 'unknown' device IDK how to understand what it is.

    You have installed the application to launch mnager. Alternatively you can install from this link and check the function of touch volume control and display adjustment launch application manager

  • Acer Aspire R13 problems active Pen (R7 - 371T).

    I bought a new R13 Aspire, with recommended acer active pen for this model. Touchpad is flicky and wobbles in his laptop computer screen resolution (very unpleasant to use) place and brightness are great and it is very sensitive to the touch of the finger and capacitive pens.
    However when I use the active stylus, it works very well for about 5 minutes and then it starts to jump and jump and then the pen stops working. After a reboot, pen starts to work, but same thing happens. When I pass the pen on the screen he sees clearly, but the movement is not smooth, in the same way, when I use the stylus to draw he jumps and jumps a lot. I calibrated my monitor and the problem still persists.

    Also ACER calls for the rejection of palm, and palm rejection does NOT at all.

    Anyone had the same problems? or your active pen works perfectly, I can't determine if the problem I have is from the pen or screen.

    Any suggestions? or comments?

    I sent my camera previous back and got a new one from microsoftstore. It seems that the problems I had were specific unit. This new one works fine, the touchpad in the last laptop has obviously had a physical since problem she wavered and has not identified any multi-geste.

    I'm happy with this one, it has a pilot updated synaptics, not the most recent one (there is a new Synaptics driver on the Acer site for this laptop that does not yet install) but it works.

    Contacted technical support and asked why not install updates it seems that this model is still a work in progress. They are updating the drivers, software managments power etc.

    Pen Active Acer works very well in ONENOTE, because the application rejects touch capacitive and works only with the participation of digitizer. but in the other Palm apps rejection does not work. I'll trade my pen as well and see if the problem is with the pen or not.

  • Can I change the processor and graphics card on my acer aspire?

    Hello

    recently I went in game

    And I really want to be able to play at HQ

    So my question is: can I put a new processor and video card

    In my acer aspire witouth problems?

    Doesn't look like as you can change the processor. Limits to the motherboard. But there is no onboard video. If you get a low profile graphics card and added it to the computer, it could work. But because the computer is an older computer, you will not be able to put in the last and best. I would like to talk to a local technician to see what is available in your area for this computer.

  • Acer aspire 5741G compatible motherboards

    Hello to the community.

    I have an Acer aspire 5741g problem on VGA.

    After years, it does not start and I have a black screen.

    It is a topic that is discussed with several solution drivres and updates to the bios, but I think that my VGA (ATI mobility) put an end to his life...

    so the question is what are the compatible motherbords for my case (5741G) and my processor (intel i3).

    I find that there is a phone for 5742G but I can't find if is it compatible and what is the difference between them.

  • Cannot enter BIOS or Option of Boot to display on my desktop Acer Aspire M3450

    For the last few days I tried to access in the BIOS or The Boot Options screen by pressing the keys with " DEL " for BIOS and ' F12 ' to The Boot Options screen. Same pressing down both keys on my keyboard and switch to normal startup with Windows 10 logo screen and then type password. I'm sure you know that this office is not supported for parameters of the UEFI. I tried with Settings\Update and Security-Advanced Options- then have 6 names on the double column , but I'm not sure that one to take to solve the problem. Here are the 6 names below:

    System restore

    System Image recovery

    Startup Repair

    Command prompt

    Startup parameters

    Go back to the previous version

    Everything what I wan tis to solve two things by pressing the ekys for BIOS and the Boot Options screen. That's all that I need it. Or I need to reinstall the entire disk operating system Microsoft Windows 10 Home Premium 64?   Either way, my computer's desktop Acer Aspire M3450 game.

    Thank you

    John

    It's a good thing I do not get out the my desktop's CMOS battery. Someone I know told me I 'Try to change the keyboard' Guess - it works now. The USB keyboard that I just bought does not work so I went back to the wireless keyboard that I used all the time. So now my problem is solved.

    Can I ask a question - why doesn't the USB keyboard support to accept that I press the key after the reboot for BIOS or Boot Display Options? Hope that someone here in this forum will answer for that.

    Thank you

  • Acer aspire s7-392-9439: lack of default boot device or startup failed.

    Hello
    I bought an Acer aspire s7-392-9439 3 months ago. It has been working fine, until yesterday.
    I turn on the computer and it poped a blue screen with the error: 'lack of default boot device or startup failed'.
    This error reminded me that a message on a bios updated poped over a few days and I have the chance to install it.

    I contacted acer support, I was told that the update of the bios would have avoided this problem. Also, they told me to try things that can help, but unfortunately none of them has:
    1 restore the default bios settings.
    2. change the bios settings: uefi to legacy.
    3 type the Windows key + c when the computer starts.

    When these options do not have they said it is probably a hardware problem and I should send my computer to their repair center.
    My questions are:
    1. If they updated bios would have prevented the problem, how can it be a hardware problem?
    2 - does anyone know how to solve the problem?

    I would appreciate your help,
    Michael

    I had the same problem.  Tried the diskette of starting BACK and did not work.

    Here's how I solved it:

    (apologies to memory are some terms is not on-site)

    1. download the Setup file of the BIOS - link provided above in this thread (isST2212.exe)

    2. on a Windows 8 machine that works - search for 'Create a recovery disk' and run on a USB drive

    3. copy the file #1 to the USB drive once it's done make a recovery disk

    4. in the Acer BIOS (press F2 during startup), change to the method of priming of the legacy

    5 save and exit

    6. turn in the BIOS and move the option USB HDD as first boot device

    7. Save and exit

    8. you will end up in a Windows 8 recovery console

    9. go to Advanced Options - find the option that leads you to the command prompt

    10. from there I went to d: drive and found my file isST2212.exe - run by typing the file name when you are in the folder

    Make sure that you are connected to power - let it run.  It should install, automatic restart and you should be in business.

    I had an Acer offer to fix it for free with a 7-10 day turn around and at the risk of losing all my data.  It's a much better solution!

  • Installation of OS V5 - 572 G Acer Aspire problem

    Hello everyone, I have a problem installing windows 7 Ultimate x 64 bit for my Acer aspire V5 - 572 G. I use flash drive(wi-drive) to install my os because there is no cd drive.

  • Acer Aspire e 15 is unable to boot from the CD

    I bought an Acer Aspire E 15 yesterday and am relatively satisfied so far.  However, I have one caveat.  While I don't mind Windows, I prefer to use a Linux OS.  I burned a Ubuntu ISO on a DVD and rebooted the system.  Windows 10 has begun.  I rebooted, went into the BIOS and change the boot order so that the DVD player should be started everything first.  No power-, always loaded Windows.  I changed the boot for a legacy one sequence, and then nothing would start at all when you restart.  So I just had to go back and change back to where it was.

    I want to try it on a flash drive, but can't find it at the moment.  I think that if I could not start the DVD, it probably wouldn't start a Flash either, but will try anyway.  Upgrading the BIOS would make a difference?  I know that it is not recommended, but for me, not being able to boot from a CD to install the OS I use is a pretty big problem for me.  I googled and lift you on several Linux forums who have not been supportive.  You guys can understand a fix?  Thank you.

    If you try the way that the flash player, please use Rufus to create a flashdrive bootable with Ubuntu .iso

  • Acer Aspire V3 722 G several problems due to a BIOS update

    As I wrote in the title, I have an Acer Aspire V3 772 G computer laptop and recently he acted strange regarding the overheating and stuttering eventhough I clean it regularly and she should not do any of those at all, I keep everything updated, everything except the BIOS that is, so I searched, I discovered that some people got rid of these same problems with a simple update of the BIOS. So I decided to do the same thing, found good download, made sure it was for my model, but I must have missed something because after the update has been (apparently successful) fact, the computer restarted, but after the Acer splash screen, a message appeared that said 'by default boot device missing or impossible start' and after pressing Enter, it takes me to a screen where I should be able to choose a boot device, but there is no device to choose and the only way out of this is to unplug the laptop and restart it. After many hours of trying to figure out why the update failed and how to recover the BIOS and either try to reinstall the most recent roll to the other older, I accidentally discovered that I could access the BIOS settings part, where I could see the information on the laptop itself and BIOS (curiously It says that the version is the most recent 1.15) and the other parameters such as order of device boot and BIOS password, but some options are grayed out and inaccessible for me (e.g. factory reset). So as soon as now, I don't know if I've messed up in the first place or if it's something completely different (since I wasn't able to find a person who had the same problem) and would be very grateful for any help.

    Thanks in advance

    Go into your Bios Startup tab and see if it changed your startup mode.

  • ACER ASPIRE E5-511-ADD DEVICE USING THE UEFI BOOT.

    Hello. I bought a laptop Acer Aspire with Linux preinstalled E5-511. I want to install windows 8.1.

    I created with Rufus TPG bootable USB flash with win8.1 image. UEFI mode the laptop does not recognize the USB, I have turned off secure boot, put the USB - HDD on the top of the boot priority but in vain.

    In legacy BIOS mode, I can boot and install windows, but the touchpad mouse does not work, only the USB mouse functions.

    How can I add UEFI boot USB flash?

    Thank you in advance.

    You did right, but sometimes the USB interfaces are not recognized by the system, I had some problems with a pair of USB pen which has not worked as a boot device, but another one worked smoothly.

    don't forget to have your HDD or USB pen in FAT32.

  • Acer Aspire won't boot to the top! Help please!

    Hello! I really hope you can help me on that because I don't know what to do... so this is what happened: I was playing a game heard music etc. (laptop: Acer Aspire E1 - 772G). However nothing happened, but then 2 minutes after my laptop froze and I waited patiently. After some time, he said something I don't remember and at first there was a sad Smiley biiig [ ]. downstairs he said some .sys arrested or something, I don't know... However, I turned off my phone and he did it again. Normally there must be the Acer's Logo and a Slogan just after clicking the power button, and some quarters would begin to turn around. Well this time it was no small circles and I started worrying. After like 1 Minute of waiting my screen just blacked out and 2 seconds after the logo was back once again, but without the circles. Then a black and blue message popped up, which says: "boot device by default lack or failed to initialize. Insert the recovery media"(I don't remember the rest). Well what I have tried is the following:
    ALT + F10 (absolutely no reaction)
    F8 or F12 don't know (shows me the error Code and what to do. He also says to put in my Windows installation, which I did not. I don't have any recovery media)

    After the message appeared I pressed Enter, and there was a menu where I couldn't do anything. He only told me to press any key, if I put in any recovery media. As I said I didn't, so I just close the laptop. After that, I pressed the power button to restart my laptop... Well, it was the same thing. After that, I turn it off again and tried the things I listed before. I hope you can help me, quick if possible I need my laptop for many other things that are more important than to play haha ^ ^

    I look forward to a quick response,
    iSpextor

    try to boot to the BIOS by pressing F2 at startup, check on the home page if your HARD drive is listed.

    If it listed to go to the exit of tav and choose load setup default, press F10, Save and exit

    try to start

    If you still having problem with missing starting device, your HARD drive is probably dead or having some bad problems; If you are still under warranty, please contact Acer support.
