Hey guys. So for the past 3 days my Acer 8920G has been acting..very strange. It randomly turns off/has a blue screen, then I can't use it for 6-10 hours before it works again, but then only for 30 min then repeats. I've checked the temperatures for the HDD/CPU/GPU on the time I was on, and the HDD was 58C, CPU and GPU were around 50C (With FF3.5, iTunes, MSN and Vuze running). I've taken off the back panel and removed the dust but that didn't do anything at all. This morning I turned it on after leaving it upside down (back panel on) to vent all the air (if I left it open more dust would've gone in) and it wouldn't even hit the desktop. Kept crashing when it hits the desktop (that's basically what happens when I try and turn it on after it has a blue screen or turns off). So I opened the back panel and let my hand hover over the components - no heat what so evr radiated from it, which means it can't have overheated...right? Now I can only run it with the back panel off, which I'm doing now in a well ventilated area. Is there anything I can do to fix this? It's really annoying me.

What is your hard drive temperature now? Also, make sure RAM and other cards are seated properly.

Everything seems to be in place fine, and my temp for the HDD right now is 50C.
EDIT - I have MSN, AIM, Vuze and FF3.5 open -
you say you cant use it. does this mean it can switch on or it windows wont load? perhaps your windows is corrupted. you may try to re install it.

Basically, after the turn off/blue screen, I can load up to the desktop, but...when it loads to the desktop, it sort of..crashes at the desktop. Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing, and I have to turn it off. I can't even load safe mode as it crashes while loading.

Can't. Laptop keeps crashing at desktop
using my iPod to type -
Vista has a built in Memtest86 you can switch to it by F8 or F10 which exactly I forgot.
You don't need to log on to vista to use it.
There are also memtest86 bootable iso can be on Linux or standalone. -
What does the blue screen say?
Need some serious help for my Acer 8920G
