I purchased my Acer Aspire V3-771G-9875 (http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/NX.M0SAA.001) in the end of September in preparation for my first year of University.
The freezing first occurred a couple weeks after purchase, I was worried at the time, but simply hard reset the computer and continued using it without problem. More recently the freezing has become somewhat worse, almost every other time I use my computer it freezes, whether I'm gaming or running a performance test on my Computer. I have searched for a solution just about everywhere. I have checked that my RAM is not causing the problem and have downloaded a software to monitor my Computer's temperature. I notice that particularly when there is a drop in temperature maybe after I close a game, or after it's done loading, my Computer freezes. I find this very strange and I haven't been able to find out another person with the same problem.
I do download a lot, so I run security scans and disk cleanups/defragments frequently, but the problem has still not been solved. Yesterday, after the computer froze, a few seconds later it shut off, which seems to be overheating. I wonder whether purchasing a cooling pad would help? If you have anything at all to contribute or suggest I would appreciate it.
My Computer Base Temperatures of the GPU, HD and cores range between 40-50 degrees when browsing or idle. In game these temperatures increase to 50-70. When I ran a windows performance test, while testing the CPU temperatures went incredibly high to around 90 degrees for maybe 20 seconds. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Jake
