[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 299896, member: 20838"] Hi Dave, I don't know what 'warranties' means but nothing there stands out as being a hard drive problem. Have you checked all the basics before you go any further? Did you run a full virus/malware scan? Have you checked the CPU heat sink for dust blankets and fans operation? If so you're going to need to dig deeper into the system logs. Do you know how to open an elevated command prompt? How computer savvy are you? It might be easier to try one of the built-in Acer reinstall options, the laptop should have a hidden restore partition and there should be an Acer program somewhere that offers an option to reinstall whilst saving you settings etc. Obviously backup everything first, there's lots of ways things can go wrong.
