Acer Aspire x3450 Black Screen

Sep 3, 2011 7:54AM PDT

i have an Acer Aspire x3450, i just got it about 2 months ago, Just a few days ago my screen has no signal, so i restarted the computer and it wont boot,but the power light was on the fan and disc drive was working too, then i unpluged it for about 4 hours then it started like normal for about 10 min then the screen went blank again, then i unpluged it for about 2 days and it was working for about 1 hour then i got the black screen again. i dont have money to send my computer away to get fixed so i came here to see if anyone else has the same problem and if anyone has some quick fixes.
oh and im useing my tv as a monitor with hdmi but all my other stuff works on it

I don't understand something.

At 2 months that's well inside a warranty period.

But I do have one idea. Some machines won't boot if our USB devices are plugged in. While we know why and we know it's a flaw, just try to get the maker to fix that!

I HAVE THE SAME COMPUTER AS YOU CAN YOU TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT?
CAN YOU SWITCH THE DESKTOP OK ?
IF NOT THAN YOU GOT A VIRUS ON IT YOU GOT YOUR RECOVERY DISCS ?
IF NOT WHAT WINDOWS YOUR USING ? WIN 7 HOME PREMIUM OR ULTIMATE?
IF YOUR UPGRADE TO WIN7 ULTIMATE THAN YOU NEED TO REINSTALL IT AGAIN OR YOUR USING A FAKE WINDOWS WITH A VIRUS ON IT AND PLS DO NOT USE TORRENTS TO GET ANYTHING COZ ARE ALL VIRUSES ON IT

From what I read of the top post

it seems more like a hardware issue to me.

I didn't see where either fake Windows or torrents were mentioned.
