I just bought a laptop 5 days ago. On the first day after we bought it, it was working really well. I only used it to watch youtube videos. Then a day later I installed a few programs (vlc, avast, 7zip, photoscape, picasa, utorrent). It was working fine for a while, but now it "refreshes" every few minutes after startup. The wallpaper, task bar, and all the icons in the desktop disappear for like a second and it does this quite a few times. I don't think it's normal.
Some programs can't seem to "save" settings. For example, I apply settings on 7zip nothing changes and when I open the settings menu again, the changes I made were not saved. It just resets to it's default. Also, one time one partition (not C) suddenly disappeard (not visible in my computer).
I boot scanned it with avast and it did find something and it said it's been "moved to chest" so I thought it was okay but when I tried using it again today, it happened again. Should I be worried?
The laptop is Acer Aspire E 14 and runs Windows 8.1 with Bing. Thanks you in advance for your help.
