Hi.
For anybody interested here's some specs:
Model: Acer Aspire 5750g-2414g50mnkk
Cpu: i5 2nd gen
Video: Nvidia GT520M
RAM: 8gb
HDD: different see below.
Now. I do not know the history of the laptop as I bought it in auction.
The laptop came in a horrible state. a lot of dust on the keyboard, inside of the laptop and in the fan. Before switching on, i've re-pasted the CPU and GPU, cleaned the motherboard fan, just made it look pretty on the inside again.
After switching on I've noticed that windows 32 bit was installed so I've wiped the 500GB hard drive and installed a 64 bit windows 7 ultimate version(as it has a 64 bit processor) and installed all the drivers for this particular model. Then I checked the CPU and GPU with heavy load (99-100% usage) and after half an hour of working the cpu temp went up to 65 degrees and GPU to 72 degrees Celsius.
Now everything was working fine as I was testing it for another couple of days (tried to use it instead of my personal laptop and didn't have any problems even while gaming). I've put a laptop for sale and the last thing I wanted to do was to install antivirus. As soon as kaspersky 2013 finished installing the laptop switched off on its own and would never load to windows home screen again(but would work fine in safe mode and in bios for hours)
To try and fix this I did another clean OS install along with the RAM test but noticed that every time I installed nvidia software for video card, after restart, the laptop would turn off right after windows logo, or would go "funny", by that I mean a lot of green dots and lines. Suspecting nvidia card failing I did a re-flow of nvidia card but the the problem stayed except I never saw those dots again untill (checked again with heavy load and no problems)...
Changed a 500GB HDD to a new 750GB would not make any difference so I updated BIOS and tried a 120GB SSD hard drive which worked like a charm, games played well. Lapotop stayed on for 6 hours and never shut down. (was working ok, not one fault!)
When I switched back to a normal HDD the problem came back. It would not go pass the Windows logo screen , it would just die as if the battery was removed.
(I tried everything said above while on battery, while plugged in and with both, same result everytime.)
HELP!
