There are certain situations when missing entries in your registry and registry corruption causes this problem. Try running a registry scan to identify if there are any such issues. Estimated Download Time: 10 SecondsDownload the Diagnostic
Ensure No Overheating
When it comes to laptop shutting down, overheating is the first thing that comes to my mind. Because of different reasons, such as malfunctioning fan, dust, inadequate ventilation and excessive use, heat may build up inside the system board components. When it happens, your system forces itself to shut down to prevent damage to your hardware. Use a CPU monitoring app such as Free RealTemp.
Disable Unsupported Devices & Ports
Take a moment to review various devices and ports unnoticed for several years. Your Acer laptop shuts down due to hardware failure.
1. Press Windows Key + R simultaneously.
2. Type DevMgmt.msc in the text box and click OK.
3. It opens up a new tool named Device Manager.
4. Expand the top node.
5. Click the View menu, select Show hidden devices.
6. Do you see a yellow colored exclamation mark beside any devices? If so, disable such faulty devices. (Right click > Disable)
7. After that, one by one disable the Sound, video and game controllers and Network Adapters along with serial & parallel ports which are parts of Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
8. Close the Device Manager window and restart your laptop.
Perform Selective Startup
The selective startup is the type of boot mode which restricts loading of incompatible, malicious startup items. Use the Device Manager to turn off unnecessary startups and services.
