    My laptop will just die like I forced it off and the fan was making a wearied sound so I replaced the fan and it still dies right in the middle of something I am doing just like I forced it off. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    In the middle of something...could you specify? Like gaming for example? an overheating gpu could cause a black screen freez or even a shut down...If your fan was blowing hard it must have something to do with heat, and heat isn't exactly acers speciality.

    I don’t have to be doing any particular thing. It goes off like I forced it off and when I turn it back on the large wording comes up and I have to hit return just like I would if I forced it off. The same guy that replaced the fan re-sordered the plug in where you plug-in the power supply awhile back and since then it has started doing this. Makes me wonder if he messed something up. The fan was making a noise and that’s why I thought it was the fan so he replaced it this week but did no cure my problem
    Thanks for the quick reply---you are a early riser to

    Well in that case I have no explenation for your problem, all I can do is to suggest that you bring it back, since obviously the repair guy did something wrong its his responsibility to fix it.

    I would download gpu-z to check the GPU temperatures and OCCT or similar to check the CPU temperatures.
