[QUOTE="Cain, post: 354213, member: 16113"] It sounds like a hardware problem to me. You mentioned It's an 'Acer' Laptop, but I couldn't find any mention of a model? Many times, laptop manufacturers have diagnostic tools available for their hardware. Check the Acer website to see if there are any tools available that you can use to test the health of the machine. > You mentioned your friend checked the RAM... but if the laptop has two RAM modules, you could try removing one at a time. See if there is any change, one may have gone bad. > Commonly motherboards will start doing some strange things like you have described once they're on their way out. I would be running as many hardware diagnostics as possible. [/QUOTE]
