Check that you do not have the laptop setup for external monitor only. Using the FN key look for a function key that has a picture of a monitor and press this key in combination with the FN key.
Well, the PXE messages only mean your laptop can't find a LAN to boot from, so that's not relevant to your problem, though you may be able to disable 'network boot' from the bios set up, but it does mean your laptop can't find any bootable media. If I think of anything else, I'll post it.

I'll asume something for this one it might help. Make sure your laptop is completely turned off [No fans turn, screen black, no hard drive light]. When you then press the power button, immediately keep pressing the F8 button on your keyboard. It should then actually display two options after a while :
*Delete restore/resume point and start windows *Resume restore/resume point
Select 'Delete restore point' and the unit should boot up fine again.
I had a unit that was basically turbo-booting into windows, but the restore point was corrupt and it always seemed it had a 'blank screen' problem.
You can also try to access the BIOS by pressing F2 as soon as the unit starts up to see if you can actually access the BIOS.
The problem with windows 7 is that there are hardly and drivers compatible with it. You may have to contact acer to get this one solved. Or resort back to xp or vista
First of all, what operating system are you seeing all of this on ? The lines sound like issues that you can have, if the refresh rate is too low, not enough scan lines 'filling in the blanks'. Increase your refresh rate to at least 60 Hz, more if your monitor will take it, but trust your eyes when things look straining, then it's too high. Easy enough to swap out the video card if your system is a desktop ? Somewhere around you is a computer salvage center that sells working, used parts. That would be your backup plan if the refresh rate doesn't fix it first. If this is happening during boot up, press <F8> constantly off & on until a screen appears and asks you if you want to go into safe mode, say yes.. allow it to fully come up, then close it normally on a restart. That will fix most driver issues.
Question edited for clarity and toss in a few CAPS.
Question moved to Acer Aspire category.
There a few issues that can cause this, the obvious one is that the battery has failed internally, but it can also be a charging software issue. Try this. Unplug from the mains supply. Remove the battery. Leave the computer for 2 hours. Press and hold the power button for a full 2 minutes. Replace the battery, plug back in, count to 10 and power it back up.
Has the motherboard battery ever been changed? They are critical to the health of the motherboard and the machine in general.
what password computer or outlook
Reset an Outlook password to keep your program secure.
A
Microsoft Outlook password keeps your email account secure from unwanted
intrusion.
When you wish to reset your Outlook password, you must
perform a multistep process to change your password first with your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The password with your ISP mail server must be the same as
the password you set in your Outlook program in order to send and receive
emails.
Call your ISP and request a new password for your account.
Write down the password after you receive it to ensure you
do not forget it.
Open your Outlook program, click the "Tools" tab
and then select "Email accounts."
Select "View or change existing email accounts"
and then press "Next."
Highlight the email account you wish to change (if you
have more than one email account) and press "Change."
Enter the new password you just received from your ISP
into the appropriate fields (entering it twice).
Place a check mark beside "remember password" if
you want Outlook to remember your password each time you log in.
Click "Test Account Settings" to make sure your
account works with the new password.
Press "Finish."

If you have no internal hard drive installed you won't get it to work correctly as the hard drive is where the data is stored for the operating system.
Estimado Carlos,
Cuando la PC se apaga poco tiempo despues de terla prendido puede ser una senal de sobrecalentamiento del procesador. Si es una PC desktop, puedes verificar si el disipador de calor de aluminio y su ventilador estan colocados correctamente sobre el procesador y si el ventilador esta' funcionando. Si es una laptop, debes verificar si cuando la prendes el ventilador de las rejitas de ventilacion esta' suenando. Un ventilador que este' parado o con baja rotacion puede ser una de las causas del sobrecalentamiento. Pero, en los dos casos, si no es problema del ventilador del procesador, lo que hay que hacer es lo siguiente:
1 - Desarmar la computadora, y sacar el disipador de calor com mucho cuidado de sobre el procesador;
2 - Limpiar bien entre las ranuras del disipador de calor, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad del mismo ya que el polvo ayuda a mantener el calor y sobrecalentar el procesador;
3 - Limpiar muy bien las rejillas de entrada/salida de aire, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad,
4 - Rearmar el disipador sobre el procesador, pasando entre ellos una delgada camada de pasta termica plateada, que se puede comprar en tiendas de suminsitros y partes de computadoras (NOTA: no instale el disipador sobre el procesador sin pasar la pasta termica, porque podra' seguir sobrecalentandose);
5 - Rearmar la computadora.
Caso usted no tenga facilidad en armar y desarmar la computadora, seria bueno contactarse con un tecnico de su confianza para hacer ese trabajo para usted.
!Espero que esa respuesta pueda haberle sido util!

OucH no acer real model PC told at all wow hard nut to crack that, I sure can not guess that ...The case told only helps if power on button is wrongor the PSU is wrong. I moved this to acer forum. as the mobo matters.Q1;never worked before by you,? this acer mobo by you?or found it used and dead.? used mobo come good bad or a wreck. (history not told , as in when did fail)the acer.com is the place to look first. for manuals. not told what GPU are you using onboard vga or GPU card or what?All fans spin ? CPU and PSU????if using GPU card that has fan, does it spin too??if case fans do they spin?DoeS DVD tray eject (button hit)?DOES PC beep or flash LED codes?Q2;What VIDEO port class is this "connection"is it:vga, hdmi, dvi or DP ports which one, and where is it? For now only use (if has one) use the VGA port on the mobo , no PCI cards in slots., NO HDD, AND NO DVD DRIVE (JUST UNPLUG THEM FOR NOW) ALL USB THINGS UNPLUG, KEYBOARD LEAVE THERE.MEMORY :pUT 1 stick of ddr RAM only in bank0 channel "A"CPU socket pins bent as seen on ebay endless and sad. below is me guessing what Acer you have.and find this, Acer/GATEWAY ZX4951 or ASPIRE Z3100I read the GW manual check jumpers.the PSU needs 2 power cables to the mobo.4pin power and 24pin (or 20 on legacy)or mobo will be dead. why mess with ACER. (they have no service manuals)put an Asus or Gigabyte mobo there and end this ACER pain,post a photo of the mobo and we can guess what PC it came out of, .......
mute the speakers if still sounds noisy the fan inside is packed in lint and needs to be cleaned out or overeheating is bad news.
why not ask a shop to look into this.
we can take it apart (covers ) and user or stethoscope to hear noise.
a $5 tool that is. and all shops have one or DIY one.
I put my hear to hDD casings me,
i use tube and put it near the fan vent to hear it scream.
there is no other way besides unplugging all that 1 by one to hear it go silent.
this is SOP, vast PC's pack up in lint and fail.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE SUFFERRING FROM THIS. THERE IS AN SIMPLEST SOLUTION AND THAT IS JUST DOWNLOAD ACER LAUNCH MANAGER VERSION 8 FROM GOOGLE. https://softfamous.com/acer-launchmanager/ THIS IS THE LINK AND INSTALL THIS AND BLUETOOTH ICON WILL APPEAR IN THE TASK BAR. IT WAS SO SIMPLE PLEASE TRY THIS
first confirm that your touch pad is working or not. yor touch pad may be disabled or it may be dead. you can enable your touch pad in it's setting. you can connect an external mouse to your laptop to check that. or you can enable mouse keys in control panel.
