My Acer Aspire One 150 shuts down automatically after about 30 seconds to one minutes. nothing seems to be helping.

Sounds like a problem with your Windows installation and you should re-install or reset to factory defaults after backing up your data.

VIRUS. a big bad one. Try the restore discs or a bootable USB. you made a bootable restore right? RIGHT?

This is generally a hardware issue - if the computer is under warranty get it fixed through Acer. If not you may need professional help. You don't mention how old the laptop is but if it is older than a year or two and you live in a dusty environment it could be overheating. If the fan is not running or always running on super-high then it is probably overheating.

Another thing to try is using a boot CD (any boot CD will work) and see if the computer still shuts down after that 30 seconds. If yes, definitely hardware. If not, possible that it's a windows issue.

Hope that helps!

Try running it on a hard flat surface and see if it runs better. The shutting down could be due to the machine overheating due to poor airflow. Try cleaning the air vents around the case, make sure they are not dusty.

Hello,

Good Luck.. :)

this seems like a software issue . if you can not run your system but ift works fine in safe mode try to run a system restore from factory disks and see where that gets you,

Hi,
Please try the steps below..

1 Disconnect the battery and the charger
2 Let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
3 Press and hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
4 Conncet the charger (don't connect the battery yet) and try to start by pressing the power button.


Also listen carefully for any beep sounds if you hear beep sound then the rams could be defective otherwise the mother board seems to be defective.

Hi,

Its overheating, clean the fan out.

Also, make sure your bios is up to date and that your power settings are not set to shut down after a certain amount of time.

Thanks

keep start button pressed 30 seconds, the pc should turn off. If not brutally unplug the power cable. Do a scan disk on restart.

This could be a heat issue. Make sure that nothing ( eg dust) is blocking the air vents.
