not realy most of lap tops have a power saving program built in to them. check the setting in control panel theres an icon that says power options. the programs that are sold aren't any better than that one. in fact they usually use more power
check here for your drivers.....http://us.acer.com/acer-v2/service.do?LanguageISOCtxParam=en&miu10einu24.current.attN2B2F2EEF=3750&sp=page15e&ctx2.c2att1=25&miu10ekcond13.attN2B2F2EEF=3750&CountryISOCtxParam=US&ctx1g.c2att92=453&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=2054404012
Go to my computer, right click>properties>hardware tab>device manager, then look down the list for mouse and pointing devices, click the '+' sign and right click on your touchpad listing and select uninstall, and then restart the pc.
In Vista start control panel>classic view, then device manager
The touchpad will be reinstalled and then ready to use again as it should be back to normal
If your laptop has wifi enabled, and you go to a place where there is a hotspot, you right-click on the little wireless icon in the system tray and choose "view available wireless networks." If one shows up and you can identify it, choose it and then click "connect." But--beware--if you can't identify the network as being in the store/coffee house,etc where you are sitting, don't try to connect to it. This is an open invitation for identity thieves and other bad guys to get access to your computer.
Open the Control Panel, then Display, click on Settings tab and examine the specifications for your software to see if the current settings are correct for it.
the rebooting could well be a driver error, and you pc is set to reboot instead of stopping and showing the code numbers on a blue screen togive any clues, but it sounds as if it could be the touchpad driver.
Go to my computer icon, right click>properties>hardware tab>device manager and look down the list for mice and other pointing devices and click the '+' sign and it will probably read synaptics touchpad, right click on it and select uninstal.
Restart your notebook and the touchpad will be installed automatically and should, if the driver is not corrupt perform as normal.
This will be like a needle in a haystack.
It could of fried the board, the processor, the hdd and so on, unless you are equiped with all sorts of spares, i would put the responsibility on a local repairer, but that's not to say they won't charge you for every part until the come to the faulty part themselves.
Question edited for clarity and toss in a few CAPS.
Question moved to Acer Aspire category.
There a few issues that can cause this, the obvious one is that the battery has failed internally, but it can also be a charging software issue. Try this. Unplug from the mains supply. Remove the battery. Leave the computer for 2 hours. Press and hold the power button for a full 2 minutes. Replace the battery, plug back in, count to 10 and power it back up.
Has the motherboard battery ever been changed? They are critical to the health of the motherboard and the machine in general.

Reset an Outlook password to keep your program secure.
A
Microsoft Outlook password keeps your email account secure from unwanted
intrusion.
When you wish to reset your Outlook password, you must
perform a multistep process to change your password first with your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
The password with your ISP mail server must be the same as
the password you set in your Outlook program in order to send and receive
emails.
Call your ISP and request a new password for your account.
Write down the password after you receive it to ensure you
do not forget it.
Open your Outlook program, click the "Tools" tab
and then select "Email accounts."
Select "View or change existing email accounts"
and then press "Next."
Highlight the email account you wish to change (if you
have more than one email account) and press "Change."
Enter the new password you just received from your ISP
into the appropriate fields (entering it twice).
Place a check mark beside "remember password" if
you want Outlook to remember your password each time you log in.

If you have no internal hard drive installed you won't get it to work correctly as the hard drive is where the data is stored for the operating system.
Estimado Carlos,
Cuando la PC se apaga poco tiempo despues de terla prendido puede ser una senal de sobrecalentamiento del procesador. Si es una PC desktop, puedes verificar si el disipador de calor de aluminio y su ventilador estan colocados correctamente sobre el procesador y si el ventilador esta' funcionando. Si es una laptop, debes verificar si cuando la prendes el ventilador de las rejitas de ventilacion esta' suenando. Un ventilador que este' parado o con baja rotacion puede ser una de las causas del sobrecalentamiento. Pero, en los dos casos, si no es problema del ventilador del procesador, lo que hay que hacer es lo siguiente:
1 - Desarmar la computadora, y sacar el disipador de calor com mucho cuidado de sobre el procesador;
2 - Limpiar bien entre las ranuras del disipador de calor, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad del mismo ya que el polvo ayuda a mantener el calor y sobrecalentar el procesador;
3 - Limpiar muy bien las rejillas de entrada/salida de aire, sacandose todo el polvo y suciedad,
4 - Rearmar el disipador sobre el procesador, pasando entre ellos una delgada camada de pasta termica plateada, que se puede comprar en tiendas de suminsitros y partes de computadoras (NOTA: no instale el disipador sobre el procesador sin pasar la pasta termica, porque podra' seguir sobrecalentandose);
5 - Rearmar la computadora.
Caso usted no tenga facilidad en armar y desarmar la computadora, seria bueno contactarse con un tecnico de su confianza para hacer ese trabajo para usted.
!Espero que esa respuesta pueda haberle sido util!

OucH no acer real model PC told at all wow hard nut to crack that, I sure can not guess that ...The case told only helps if power on button is wrongor the PSU is wrong. I moved this to acer forum. as the mobo matters.Q1;never worked before by you,? this acer mobo by you?or found it used and dead.? used mobo come good bad or a wreck. (history not told , as in when did fail)the acer.com is the place to look first. for manuals. not told what GPU are you using onboard vga or GPU card or what?All fans spin ? CPU and PSU????if using GPU card that has fan, does it spin too??if case fans do they spin?DoeS DVD tray eject (button hit)?DOES PC beep or flash LED codes?Q2;What VIDEO port class is this "connection"is it:vga, hdmi, dvi or DP ports which one, and where is it? For now only use (if has one) use the VGA port on the mobo , no PCI cards in slots., NO HDD, AND NO DVD DRIVE (JUST UNPLUG THEM FOR NOW) ALL USB THINGS UNPLUG, KEYBOARD LEAVE THERE.MEMORY :pUT 1 stick of ddr RAM only in bank0 channel "A"CPU socket pins bent as seen on ebay endless and sad. below is me guessing what Acer you have.and find this, Acer/GATEWAY ZX4951 or ASPIRE Z3100I read the GW manual check jumpers.the PSU needs 2 power cables to the mobo.4pin power and 24pin (or 20 on legacy)or mobo will be dead. why mess with ACER. (they have no service manuals)put an Asus or Gigabyte mobo there and end this ACER pain,post a photo of the mobo and we can guess what PC it came out of, .......
mute the speakers if still sounds noisy the fan inside is packed in lint and needs to be cleaned out or overeheating is bad news.
why not ask a shop to look into this.
we can take it apart (covers ) and user or stethoscope to hear noise.
a $5 tool that is. and all shops have one or DIY one.
I put my hear to hDD casings me,
i use tube and put it near the fan vent to hear it scream.
there is no other way besides unplugging all that 1 by one to hear it go silent.
this is SOP, vast PC's pack up in lint and fail.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE SUFFERRING FROM THIS. THERE IS AN SIMPLEST SOLUTION AND THAT IS JUST DOWNLOAD ACER LAUNCH MANAGER VERSION 8 FROM GOOGLE. https://softfamous.com/acer-launchmanager/ THIS IS THE LINK AND INSTALL THIS AND BLUETOOTH ICON WILL APPEAR IN THE TASK BAR. IT WAS SO SIMPLE PLEASE TRY THIS
