My Acer Aspire Timeline X AS1830T-68U118 seems to be freezing up every time I run music in the background and load more than 5 tabs in Google Crome. I'm sure this should not be an issue with the amount of ram and processing power the computer has. How might I fix or prevent the freezing from happening?

Open a command prompt as Administer and run System file checker, sfc /scannow. When it's done, restart your laptop.It will find and fix anything wrong with your OS.

SOURCE: Acer Aspire 5100 ; mouse freezes right after boot up

hi, yes it is a motherboard issue-i have 2 of those with same problem. new boards for that model are costly. however i found a work around-get a usb pcmcia card put it in the slot on the side-then plug your mouse or other usb devices and you should be ok! I did this a year ago and it runs like new! way cheaper than getting a new one. this is a big problem with these 5100 models. acer no help-other than selling you a new mainboard. this is the best way 2 make it work again. the pcmcia cards are cheap enough. and after that you can get a usb hub if you need more ports. good luck! and please rate this solution. and make sure 2 turn on the cardbus if not on allready. (in epower manager) this will work! reply if you need help! be well!

SOURCE: Acer Aspire 5610 freezes when loading when it starts up

assuming that u r a professional,
try open in the safe mode..press F8 rapidly/briskly while booting up..
often happens due to cpu over heating and or software corruption..check if not too dusty..
listen for any noise emitting(eg. 'tik tik' or 'kirr kirr') by the hdd..
if window opens up in safe mode..check the size of virtual memory..try increasing..
unload some unnecessary software..
do a through virus scan using a licensed and updated antivirus (i prefer avg/kaspersky)..
download, install n run microsoft kb890830..
if windows is not loading at all..reinstall os..probably ur ram/hdd is faulty or small in size..replace with a standby n see..
the above often take place with some error message(s)/blue screen..
but if there's no such displaying, esp if hangs/stops/power off during installation, it may b caused by the main/mother board or even the battery..
..contact ur system admin/vendor....

SOURCE: I cannot open my Acer Aspire Timeline 5810TZ disk

This happened to me a bit too. If you uninstall the Disc Drive Power Management application, then you should be able to open the disc reader. alternatively, in the log in screen, if you press eject it should open

SOURCE: Ive had my acer aspire 6930 for about a year now

Well after contacting acer about it they told me to restore to factory settings to determine if its hardware or software malfunction. Just sounded like a general response with the same waste of time ending. so i bought some external speakers and a bigger sub-woofer. Plugged them in and used the audio panel (in control Panel) to set the audio jacks to the right settings and now ive got a flourishing sound =D Much better than the in builts, but sorry its not an actual proper solution, just another way around it. Good news is, none of that crackling and no need to constantly pull up the audio panel to stop it. Its a bit of money but it saves me from a pain in the ***.

Acer 5542 freezes

You can start by checking the Event Viewer. Right click My Computer / Manage. Check System for Errors and Warnings. They can be very technical, but most likely there is some event. Check Application as well. There is a Filter option under View. Leave Warning and Error checked.

A helpful tip.
Slow Windows Machine! Sounds like not enough resources such as RAM and CPU. Check Performance in Task-Manager (CTRL-ALT-DELETE). Try disabling startup programs. Go to Start > Run (search in Win 7) and type MSConfig. Startup tab and uncheck anything that you don't want Windows to load automatically. It will make Windows boot faster and use less resources while running. This just disables them in startup. Programs will still load, but when only you initiate.

Overheating ACER ASPIRE 5733

Are you getting any warning the system is overheating? Have you cleaned out the inside of the computer of all dust? Dust on the heat sink is the big culprit here. Also make sure as few programs as possible are running in the background, the load increases the heat of the processor a little with each program that is running.

AS1830T-68U118, motherboard is very hot, 102 degrees celsius. sometimes, 50 ~ 90 degrees. What I do ?

Hi,

Use a canned air to blow out the dust that might be accumulated on the system fan as it is one cause of overheating. Make sure that the fan it working properly as it should. Also avoid using your laptop in areas where the temperature is high.

Replace the fan if it is failing before it gets worse.

Hope this helps.

How do I get the Acer desktop?

Hi lydaloudon. Depending on which operating system you have, there are a couple of different ways to accomplish this. I will list the steps for both Windows XP and Vista.
WINDOWS XP: Click START, then click CONTROL PANEL. In the control panel double click DISPLAY. In the DISPLAY PROPERTIES window, click the DESKTOP tab. Under this tab you will see a list of backgrounds. Just choose the one you want and modify it if you wish by changing the color or position, then click OK.

VISTA: Click the Start button down in the bottom left corner (little round Windows button), click CONTROL PANEL. Double click APPEARANCE AND PERSONALIZATION and then DESKTOP BACKGROUND. Double click the background you want and click OK.

Hope this helps!

Every time i boot up my acer aspire 5315 laptop I always get a black screen and the computer freezes?

Please try to reboot in Safe mode after Tapping F8 Key during start.

If the option for run in safe mode not appear you need to do it again.

After then, when you login at desktop, do the following:

  1. Click on Start
  2. Open the Run window,
  3. Type msconfig, then click 'OK'.
  4. Go to the Services tab, find the 'Background Intelligent Transfer' service.
  5. Disable it, apply the changes & reboot.
Also at startup tab in msconfig, and in the Startup Tab
Disable the items which you think not necessary to come during startup.
THis will help you lot to reduce the time being taken in Startup.


Hope it will work for you.
