Screen turns green

I think the system needs a better graphic driver but it appears the last updated driver is dated 2002. In the middle of using the machine for about an hour the unit "clicks" and a few seconds later the last few mouse motions appear like a jet stream across the screen, then the screen all turns gray, green, white, and black and it's finished. I have to turn the unit off and then back on again. It works great aside from this problem.

SOURCE: Slow start

(I'm copying a guest's comment above. What Gateway told him does seem to work - although in my case, the monitor was slow to start when plugged directly into the wall, and it was immediately fixed when I plugged it back into a heavy duty power bar.)

hey, I had the same problem. Gateway told me "Plug the monitor power plug directly into a wall electrical outlet
or a different wall outlet by removing any surge suppressors." I did that and it works. It might be a certain kind of power bar they do not like. It worked for me so try that and see if that helps.

SOURCE: Gateway profile all in one system shuts itself off

I just had a machine in the other day with the exact problem you describe. Don't know if this will help but they had a worm and when the anti-virus kicked in or they opened any type of online program like a broswer or email the computer would shut down.

Also hardware could be the issue. If its not the above issue could you tell us when the last time the heatsink was cleaned. What if anything your doing when it shuts down....

SOURCE: my screen goes black after a few seconds

Sounds like a bad solder joint on the printed circuit board. Once it heats up then it no longer makes good contact and the monitor goes black until it cools down and makes contact again. You could resolder it if you knew where it was but monitors are dangerous to go playing around with as they can hold very high charges of electricity in their capacitors that are very dangerous. It's a throw away world. Go buy a new one.

Black screen on acer aspire 5560 series will not load

Fix 1: Power reset your laptop
Power resetting does a trick to fix the Acer black screen issue and it works for many people. Here's how to do it:
1.Turn off your laptop.
2.Remove the AC adapter cable, hard drives, the battery and any other attached peripheral devices.
3.Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds and release. Your laptop will boot up and turn off during this time period.
4.Put your battery back in and plug the charger. Then don't plug anything else.
5.Press the Power button as normal to turn on your laptop.
Your laptop should start normally now.
If this method works for you, you should update your device drivers to the latest version to prevent similar problems from happening again.
If the laptop screen is black, don't worry. There are other solutions.
Fix 2: Try F2, F9, and F10 key
If you find yous Acer laptop screen is black, you can try this:
1.Ensure to turn off your laptop, and unplug any external devices.
2.Press the Power button to turn on your laptop.
3.When you see the Acer logo or splash screen appears, press F2, F9, F10, and Enter key on your keyboard.
4.Select Exit > Yes, and press Enter.
Your laptop will start and the black screen issue should be resolved.
Fix 3: Update graphics card driver
The missing or outdated graphics card driver in your laptop can cause the black screen, so you should verify that the graphics drivers in your laptop are up to date, and update those that aren't.
Note: You'll need to log into your computer to perform these method. If you can't log into your computer, boot your laptop into Safe Modewith network, then follow the instructions below.
You can manually search for the latest version of your graphics driver from the manufacturer, and download and install it in your computer. This requires time and computer skills. We recommend this if you're confident with your computer skills.
If you don't have time or patience, you can do it automatically with Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it.You don't need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don't need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don't need to worry about making mistake when installing.
1.Downloadand install Driver Easy.
2.Run Driver Easy and click the Scan Now button. Driver Easy will then scan your computer and detect any problem drivers.
3.Click the Update button next to the flagged graphics device to automatically download the correct version of the driver (you can do this with the FREE version), then install the driver in your computer.
Or click Update All to automatically download and install the correct version of all the drivers that are missing or out of date on your system (this requires the Pro version - you'll be prompted to upgrade when you click Update All).

4.After updating, restart your computer to take effect.
Check and see if your laptop screen works properly.
Fix 4: Check for virus and malware
Note: You'll need to log into your computer to perform these method. If you can't log into your computer, boot your laptop into Safe Mode with network, then follow the instructions below.
Your Acer laptop screen may be black if your system has been damaged by virus or malware.
So run a virus scan across your entire Windows system. Yes, it may take some time to complete, but it's worth it. Unfortunately, Windows Defender may not detect it, so it's worth trying another antivirus program such as Avira and panda.
It any malware has been detected, follow the instructions provided by the antivirus program to fix it.
Then restart your computer as normal and see if it fixes your black screen issue.
Fix 5: Update BIOS
BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It's a software that is stored on a small memory chip in the Motherboard of your computer. BIOS is used to identify and troubleshoot the hardware issue in your computer or laptop.
To update your BIOS, go to Acer support page, find the BIOS file for your Acer laptop model. Download it into your USB drive, and follow the instructions provided by Acer to update BIOS.

Bluescreen problem - system restarts

try to remember the last thing you installed and uninstall it; or a driver update, as this will be more than likely a corrupt driver, possibly a graphics driver, if you can restore your pc to an earlier date in system tools and it should stop the problem, and next time see what updates your pc does and you may find the culprit

Opening windows media center

i would suggest that you either roll back your driver for the graphics card or do a system restore to a date previous to when the drivers were updated, this wil show in the system restore dates boxes. You are probably running the generic windows driver for your graphics, it's better to see what updates you are installing before updating any hardware drivers.

Monitor keeps switching off

The graphics card or onboard graphics driver may not be kicking in at boot up causing the monitor to shut down, check the graphics card connector for bent pins and both connector ends. If you are able, think back to when this started and use system restore to a date before is started. Also you may have inadvertantly updated your graphics driver with one of windows generic drivers, of which may be the cause. You can also try pressing F8 on boot up and selecting 'last known good configuration' and see if that cures it.
