My Acer aspire e5 571g

[hungrierthanmomo]

My Acer aspire e5571g is acting weird. When I would login it’s directs me to the standard desktop but from there the laptop no longer responds. The mouse won’t move and the only thing The laptop responds to is me clicking on the power button to restart it. My Brother said it’s cause there’s Low disk space, but how do I verify that. And if that’s the case, is there anything I can do to use my laptop again?

Being low disk space shouldn't cause that.

Try turning it off and then start it up in "Safe Mode" and see if it will work from there. Granted the access will be limited, however if it works, then you know it is something on the computer. Bad program, malware, virus, etc. While in "Safe Mode" you may want to try reset the computer to the most recent restore point and see if that resolves it. If not, then I would scan it for viruses, etc.

How to enter "Safe Mode" when booting the computer.

In Windows 8 and 10...

As your computer restarts, press F8 (possibly a few times) to enter "Safe Mode"

a. Press the "F4" key to Enable "Safe Mode".
(The computer will then start in "Safe Mode" with a minimal set of drivers and services.)

b. Press the "F5" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Networking.
( Once "Safe Mode" with Networking starts, Windows is in Safe Mode, with additional network and services for accessing the Internet and other computers on your network.)

c. Press the "F6" key to Enable "Safe Mode" with Command Prompt.
(In "Safe Mode" with "Command Prompt" starts Windows in Safe Mode, with a Command Prompt window instead of the Windows interface. This option is mostly only used by IT professionals.)

Now sign in to the computer with your account name and password. (If you have one set.) When you are finished troubleshooting, you can exit "Safe Mode" restarting your computer.


In Windows 7/Vista/XP...

1. Immediately after turning on the computer, or restarting it (usually after you hear your computer beep), tap the F8 key, repeatedly, in 1 second intervals.

2. The computer will then display hardware information and run a memory test.

3. Next the "Advanced Boot Options" menu will appear.

4. In the "Advanced Boot Options" menu use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" or "Safe Mode with Networking" and press ENTER.
