By Alex George on 15 September 2019.
I have been using an Acer Aspire Laptop for one year, and the major problem I am experiencing is its occasional freezing. I am using Microsoft Windows 10 pro 64 bit on it.
Due to its random freezes, I cannot rely on this Acer Aspire Laptop for my work presentations and coding.
If it gets stuck in the middle of a work, mouse and keyboard stop responding. Even the keyboard combination [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] don’t work.
I need to press the power button to restart the device.
When I searched on the Internet, I am not alone with this problem. A lot of people complain about the random freezing issues with Acer Aspire ES1 laptops.
I have written this tutorial based on my troubleshooting steps on Acer Aspire Laptop to find out the reasons for its sudden hanging and the fix.
Why Do Acer Aspire Laptops Freezes Randomly?
I could not find a straight answer to this question. Some users report their Acer laptop freeze while charging and cannot unfreeze using a keyboard or mouse.
Some users face this problem only when running high-end applications like computer games and Photoshop.

Another chance is the use of the Google Chome browser. While opening more tabs on Chrome, I noticed the CPU usage touches 100%.
