Overheating When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan.
If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

I have an acer aspire 5517-5086, it wont turn on at all, I removed and replaced the battery and tryed plugging it in also, with no results. is there a reset button or something?

worked for me. my acer aspire will go to sleep and never turn back on sometimes. the light on the power block will fade out and nothing will turn on. I pulled the battery out, left it for 10 minutes ..plugged in the power jack, wrapped the f10 key then held it down and presto! power!
