My Acer laptop keeps restarting on me in very quick succession.
Here is how it all started. I forgot to shut down my laptop, closed the laptop cover, put it in my neoprene bag and forgot about it. About 2 hours later came home and saw the power light was still on (which I thought was odd). I plugged in the power cable and started off the computer. It ran fine for about 15 minutes but then it restarted. Then it ran for about 8 minutes and restarted abruptly again .
That point onwards, I have not been able to boot into windows. I know its a hardware issue since EVEN BEFORE I can select that I want to boot into safe mode, it restarts. Sometimes it restarts even before letting me go into BIOS.
This is what is confusing me soo much. I thought something is wrong with hardware but once in BIOS, the laptop runs fine !! Keeps running normally in BIOS as long as I want it to run.
My guess is that the hardware memory is somehow corrupt. Maybe a heat issue (but BIOS runs ok for as long as I want).
I really hope its fixable because my thanksgiving shopping has made me bankrupt. Not to mention that the laptop is not in warranty anymore
I'd be REAALLYYY thankful for any help/suggestion.
