When did this start occurring, after a Windows update? Have you tried a system restore (http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26945) to when it was working, should that not resolve it, perform a refresh (http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26295). If that fails, a reset (http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26281) would be the next course of action to take.

if it's a recent purchase, you should be able to return it. don't try to fix it if its under warranty.

this a great computer. you might try er-installing and starting again. that means starting from start

I have a different model (1001P) but am having the same trouble. I also have the Crucial 2GB upgrade in mine. I might test the old 1GB chip to see what it does, I haven't tried much yet...

You are not the only one...mine started freezing up right after it did some factory updates. Had to reboot it :(

There's a small reset button on the back that u can press with a paper clip or pin. Or I also took the battery out for a minute and then put it back in. That requires a screw driver. Good luck because mine kept freezing n resetting itself all the time so I ended up just getting a for bit

I've had a mixture of strange issues with mine which is the N56VM-AB71 ... Random freezing etc. but I installed an SSD and I'm hoping that's the issue. I am fairly sure I can't get it fixed under warranty having removed the hard drive.

You should better check first the maximum amount of memory that your specific model can allocate. Maybe it is no more than 6gb.

We have experienced two laptops we had to return, they are freezing up during upload. The first we had someone look @ right away and was told to return for hard drive was bad. When 2nd one came and started the same problem we sent it back the following day. When we tried to contact Acer because we could'nt even get online with is they wanted $20.00 right away to try to help. That did if for me. We are still waiting for refund from Amazon.!!! Any touchpad was ok, it was centered correctly. Good Luck!!!

You need to check two things:1) Check the maximum RAM that your laptop can take. Some systems, even though 64-bit, cannot take more than 4GB RAM.2) Check the specs of the RAM currently installed. If you have DDR3 RAM, this *should* work.Hope I helped!

QB is a memory hog as are several other MS Windows programs. If you have Word & or Adobe open, close them and try again.

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

The Aspire One I had ran on Windows XP. So I gave up on watching any videos...not enough memory. Kept stopping to buffer and buffer etc. Since Windows 8 supposedly uses a much lower amount of memory and thus frees it up for other programs, maybe it would work ok. But can the hardware support Win 8? I don't know. Bottom line is if streaming video is critical to you, look at another model. This is my personal experience and I am not an IT professional.

What is the exact model number of your machine? You can try this memory and if it doesn't work we can always send a replacement to match what you currently have in your system.

Try using just 1 stick. If that works then change the sticks and see if the second works. If you find one stick does not work but the other does then return the bad one for replacement. If they both work it is not the memory.

I suggest you run disk check on your drive. See if there are any bad sectors and lock them out. It sounds like the drive may be freezing. I'd look at returning the drive.

Mine has only frozen once, but there was no Blue Screen of Death. Probable cause: server issues. Game froze, mouse clicks wouldn't work anywhere. Couldn't close the game or switch tabs. Side menu wouldn't slide out, Windows icon unresponsive. I saw it as "one of those things," and it hasn't happened since. Check everything you've downloaded. Maybe uninstall everything except what it came with, check security software, essentially start over. Call ASUS? Hope you solve the problem.

Well I'm going to get the old unit back and try that. They offered a replacement unit but only a 90 day warranty with that one!I am going to buy a zi8 instead as that has removeable memory!

I had that problem too it would freeze right on the load up screen that said WolVol and would stay right there what I did was contacted the seller and they sent me out an SD card that u plug into the computer turn it on and it updates the system and fixes the problem so try contacting the seller.
