My dad gave me an acer aspire 3000 he got fed up with trying to get it to run right. I took it to best buy and had the geek squad look at it. They wiped everything out but they didnt have the recovery disks at the time so i had to order them and do the rest myself. I followed the directions to reinstall the operating system and start over but when I did it the laptop didnt seem to be any better in fact it seemed worse. It kept freezing up at the screen where you have to name the computer and set the time zone and all that fun stuff. So i would wipe it out again and start all over. Sometimes it will take me several times to finally get everything to run right. Then when I shut the computer off for the night I tried to turn it back on and everything seemed to be ok untill the check disk screen came up. When i tried to cancel the check disk i couldnt get any of the keys to work to cancel it, my mouse didnt work nothing. When i let the scan disk run it freezes at 20 percent and I have to reformat it again. After a while i can get the computer to run right and I can finally use it but then im afraid to turn it off again. I dont know whats going on but whatever it is is really annoying. Hopefully someone can help me Acer cant seem to tell me what to do and I dont have another 200 dollars to take it to geek squad again.
