Hi there, i had a problem with my Acer 4740G. I was not using the computer for a while, and then computer screen suddenly turned dark. I thought the computer went to sleep. However it does not respond to clicks, and key presses. The only solution is to force shutdown the machine using the power button. It happened 3 times, yesterday. I thought it might be some issue with Acer hardware going overheating etc.

However, today there is a new update for Windows 7. (27 Jan 2010) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977074

Reliability update. One of the fixes is;

CODE
On a computer that is running Windows 7, you configure the Screen Saver Settings to display the logon screen on resume. Additionally, you configure the computer to go to sleep. However, the computer may not go to sleep after the screen saver starts. Instead, a black screen is displayed. [B]This problem causes the operating system to stop responding[/B]. You must restart the computer by holding down the power button.

Also, for those who likes to put a blank desktop (solid color) - like me, the logon will take 30 seconds due to a bug in Windows 7. There is an update for that too,
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977346

CODE
The Welcome screen may be displayed for 30 seconds during the logon process after you set a solid color as the desktop background in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2


This is however a hotfix and not distributed using Windows Update. You need to download is manually.
Since i experienced both the above problems, i everyone update their laptop after purchasing, immediately smile.gif

Cheers

Another way of showing how illiterate people are on notebooks.. Which in the end goes to the blaming of the brand.. shakehead.gif shakehead.gif

Have you checked the touchpad sensitivity ? You can reduce/increase the sensitivity................. unsure.gif unsure.gif

Reinstall the Touchpad driver then.. Normally this kind is software related.. If it really is hardware related.. There's the warranty there smile.gif

There should be a recovery mode.. To restore your system to factory default..

Upon starting your pc i think you press F12 or F10(I forgot) many times.. and the recovery console should show up..

Dont do a clean install..(Which is better..) but since you are quite new to computers.. it might be quite hard for you..

Try the recovery partition 1st.. smile.gif

Nvidia GeForce 310M is not really powerfull.. Its considered a low-end graphics card..

Enough for low-medium gaming..

Overheat is only for 8400m/8600m gpu's which will fail trumendously fast..

Well.. That's why for me brand doesnt matter for me.. biggrin.gif

Because really.. All these laptop assemblers only test their systems on 1 machine for their certain test and if it passes the same models will "pass" the test without testing them 1 by 1.. But surely they made sure it powers on.. lol..

So that's why depends on what faulty OEM parts you get in your system.
