Acer aspire 5742 goes from black to a screen that says acer enter startup f2 then back to
My acer aspire 5742 doesn't start correctly, it goes from a black screen to a screen that says acer enter startup f2, then alternates between these two screens.
Right now I have managed to turn it on and I'm in the treatment of support up to an external hardrive.
I rang acer support and they told me I did this install windows 10 (about six months ago) and although he seemed fine, it was corrupting the (motherboard? I think that's what she said). the lady told me that I should restore laptop to factory settings.
Can someone please confirm for me that's what I have to do?
The fact that you were able to start normally after F2 in the bios menu, F9 to re - set the bios to factory default then F10 to save this setting, the default BIOS * strongly * suggest that the bios was losing his in the memory of the specific hard drive that was installed.

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode.
Troubleshooting Extensions and themes
Safe mode disables the installed Extensionsand themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. Options > Advanced. All these parameters/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to check if an extension, theme or hardware acceleration is causing issues.

Suddenly - whenever I right click on 'New' in 'my documents' or on the desktop or in a folder, in order to create a folder or file, windows says "Please wait while that corel suite 11 is installed. I click on cancel, but it keeps coming back. I have not Corel. If I click on cancel about 13 times it finally stops! But I can't use right click on 'new' installation at all, it seems. Also I have problems with Outlook - I wonder if I need to re - install Windows XP or is there a simpler solution?
Thanks for yr help.
Yes, Outlook often think files 'have not been closed properly' and takes forever to 'check' the. I give him extra time to close before stopping computer...

Thanks M Clark
Hello
I suggest to reset the default settings to default and check for the issue.
You may also contact the manufacturer of your BIOS to change these settings.
Important note: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
