    Dont think this is normal I haven't experienced this. Probably this is a problem with a virus or third party program. Or even a hardware problem with the cmos or bios?

    Hi, I'm not however you possibly need to refer back to Acer and have it looked at as it sounds like it could be the cmos battery failing if it happens when the laptop is off....

    free bump.

    i dont think this is a cmos battery issue because my cmos password is still in tact after each event. if my cmos battery is low it will reset the cmos and all of its values (including pw)
