    Hello ringlord, and welcome to the forums!
    When your system lost power, it probably was in the middle of the BIOS flash. Thus, your system is essentially without the most basic functionality necessary to operate. Your options are to either attempt an emergency BIOS flash (look online or here on NBR for instructions) or send the machine back to Acer to get the system repaired.

    Let this be a warning to you and other users - BIOS flashes are INCREDIBLY risky; if anything goes wrong, your system gets bricked.
