I'm refering to jumpers on the mobo itself. The only one that was on it was the cmos jumper. There are places where other jumpers could go. I thought that perhaps I had accidently knock one off

Jumpers can go on Hard drive, but it is no longer usefull since with SATA connectors, you don't have to specify with a Jumper which one is the master or slave HD.

what password computer or outlook 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. Click "Test Account Settings" to make sure your account works with the new password.

Prendo la pc acer y se apaga vuelve a prender y se apaga y asi sigue

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! PD.: Como ese sitio web solamente accepta caracteres en Ingles, la acentuacion no puede ser utilizada normalmente... Saludos, Miguel Luiz Martins

I've had my Acer Aspire V5-531 for about seven months now and it recenetly started to make a loud humming noise every time I pick it up or just move it a little bit. It's usually going on for

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.

Sounds like the application is not installed correctly, uninstall it via control panel and re install from the original disc or download. If you don't have this available, you can use an alternative player, I personally use VLC and prefer it, more info here: VideoLAN Official page for VLC media player the Open Source video framework Or direct download if you prefer: http://get.videolan.org/vlc/2.1.5/win32/vlc-2.1.5-win32.exe

ASPIRE3 USER MANuaL

You'll need to be more specific. Acer makes several Aspire 3 notebooks. Many of their manuals are available here: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers . In the drop down menus, choose Notebook, Aspire and look for the model number. Current Aspire 3 notebooks have model numbers that start with A315. The user manual for the A315-21 is currently here: https://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Document/User%20Manual/User%20Manual_Acer_2.0_A_A.zip?acerid=636564340054411702&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%20A315-21&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6 . You'll need to extract the contents of the file to read the manual. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells
