Hi guys, I have an Acer Nitro 5 (18 months), the last three weeks or so its begun to randomly shut down and boot itseful back up again. I’m at my wits end as I feel like I’ve tried everything, and I really don’t want to have to buy a new laptop…these are all the things I’ve done to try and sort it out, if anyone has any suggestions that would be great, or if it sounds like I should just bite the bullet and buy a new laptop let me know. This is what I have tried:
[ol]
[li]Updated BIOS[/li][li]Hard drive (which turned out to be damaged) replaced with SSD[/li][li]Lowered CPU running speed from 100% to 80%[/li][li]Two Windows updates (which made the laptop laggy and awful)[/li][li] I then tried to uninstall the updates which I couldn’t do[/li][li]Scanned for viruses (none)[/li][li]Used AVG cleanup[/li][li]Defragmented disk [/li][li]Updated drivers[/li][li]Cleaned fans and vents[/li][li]Had new thermal paste added [/li][/ol]
I feel like I have exhausted all options unless there’s something I’m missing? I’ve never had such an unfixable problem before in a laptop and this one isn’t even 2 years old, it’s so frustrating. It’s impossible to play any games.
