ACER laptop stuck on startup!

Hello,

Yes, you’re going to tell me there are tons of topics, but if I’m posting, it’s because I’ve been searching for a long time and nothing is working for now...

So the main problem is that the computer gets stuck on the Acer startup screen: Acer empowering people and it says: Press <F2> to enter setup.

Except that I can’t access the BIOS...

Thank you for your help, regards, hidd.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.6.9

    I'm going to be direct: if your PC is stuck on ACER, it means your motherboard is dead :/

    And what confirms this is that you can't access the "BIOS"

    We can't do anything for you except change the motherboard or the entire PC.

    I encountered the same problem with my Acer. I turned off my PC at the source, that is, at the power outlet, and unplugged the cable from the PC.

    Argh :/
    So even if I try formatting, it won't work...

    Let's say that if it freezes at the Acer page, you won't be able to launch the XP CD, so you can always try, but in my opinion, it's a lost cause :/

    Flashed motherboard

    Since it is guaranteed to benefit you in the end, but the customer service might be a bit slow

    Don’t buy anything out of your own pocket or you’ll just have to build a new setup

    For example, I buy from Rue du Commerce, you can get an upgrade kit for 100 euros with the latest technology available

    See site: http://www.rueducommerce.fr/Composants/Kits-d-evolution/Packs-Processeur-Carte-mere-et-Memoire/RDC/3010091-Kit-St-rt-Sempron-140-Carte-MSI-GF615M-P33-1-Go-DDR3-1333.htm

    A very good deal to make, especially much better than your Acer ; )

    Lol okay, is it still guaranteed, should I bring it back or will I have to pay for everything out of my own pocket?

    Well, an Evo kit is, for example, you can put all the latest technologies like AMD Phenom 2, DDR3 RAM, and you can install all the latest graphics cards out there. ;)
