Hi everyone, I bought an used Acer 5734z that freezes on Acer logo. I changed ram, cpu, power charger,......everthing. I removed cd rom, hdd, wifi and nothing happened.
Everytime it turns on, i tried to access to bios pressing F2 and itfreezes again.............I turn it on and I press Esc key and shows bios post and freezes again!!!......I decided to upgrade bios.......but when it starts the bios flashing process (obviously pressing fn+Esc before plug the power charger and turn it on) the notebook turns off and I cant turn on if i dont unplug the power charger.
Suggestions? I tried using the latest bios, the first one, all software includded, only the .fd file.......is all the same......it turns off!!!
 
Hi Ova,

The fact that it freezes in BIOS already mean there's a problem with the motherboard of your PC even if you do an upgrade or replace the components of it won't even help, it's the actual motherboard that needs replacement.
