Question

acer 7741g laptop boot problem. any ideas of what causes it?

Oct 15, 2015 12:24AM PDT

The problem appeared mostly after upgrading to windows 10. I think its a problem of drivers. Boot fixes after just inserting an old acer recovery disk and remove it after a while.

- Can you describe the problem?
- What does "mostly" mean?
- What do you mean with "Boot fixes after just inserting an old acer recovery disk and remove it after a while"?

please see the video. in the past i had a few cases with some crazy screens that were appearing suddenly. now it happens many times when i boot. i put a recovery disk in windows boot and i just load it, i restart and problem fixes.

So the problem is fixed by going back to the old OS (what OS?) and comes back after you install Windows 10 again? Then don't do that.

I hope somebody has time to look at your video. I suppose it shows some crazy screens appearing many times when you boot.
