  If your Acer Laptop shuts down intermittently, ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the computer and the electrical outlet. Try removing any extension cables or surge protectors between the computer and the outlet, plugging the computer directly into a known good electrical outlet. Also, remove any external and non-essential hardware and recently installed software that are not necessary to boot the computer.

  If your Acer Laptop is experiencing a random loss of BIOS settings, and the computer is more than one year old, replace the CMOS battery. Also, run a complete virus scan using up-to-date software. If the computer is experiencing HDD or ODD BIOS information loss, disconnect and reconnect the power and data cables between devices. If HDD information is missing from the BIOS, the drive may be defective and should be replaced. As a last resort, replace the motherboard.
