No one will RMA something damaged due to user/installer error. You can try, but you're going to be waisting shipping funds to and from Intel.

I think I'm mixing posts up re; Windows 8. Yes you can retain your oem key. But if your oem key is for Windows 8, you upgraded to Windows 10... The key you have will not install a copy Windows 10 from scratch. Regarding your partitions, those are supposed to be there. You should not touch them unless you know what you are doing, or are installing windows from scratch. You can't see them in Windows explorer because they are hidden. They (at least 2 of them) are 'boot' partitions. Meaning your computer boots from them. If you really want to see them use disk part.exe but do not change/modify anything. Since you have a Windows 10 machine, you can try to use the Win10 iso from Microsofts site to reinstall, but I'm pretty sure you will need the recovery disk from Acer. The best option would be to get the comp to boot to the recovery partition (if it is still intact).

Have you done this? Because I have had to re-install windows on many computers since Windows 8. Even if op could get the key off the Mobo, a Windows 8 key WILL NOT work with Windows 10. Microsoft does not upgrade keys. You bought Windows 8, you own Windows 8. Microsoft let's you USE Windows 10 for 'free'. There is a very big difference.

You're pretty much screwed. OEM key will not stay active. Windows 8 and higher the key is married to the Mobo, you don't get to physically see it. So when you go to install you need a physical key to install. Only way around this is going to Acer to buy a recovery disk (assuming you deleted the recovery partition on your HDD as you are saying there was only 1 partition). On an OEM Acer there should be 3 partitions; boot, recovery and data.

Why were you trying to partition an already partitioned disk? If you removed a partition and it now won't boot, you removed the wrong partition. Reinstall Windows, choose advanced install, remove all partitions and start fresh.

Can you test your CPU in another rig? Seems everyone is having dvrm issues. What is your PSU model?

Screen goes black, PC dies. I'm out of ideas.

I would follow the other instructions as to how to diagnose first, they will lead you in the right direction. Yes, dvrm issues would be Mobo RMA time.- 14 replies

Your Outlook Account Settings are out of date
Deathisgod replied to RandomRestore's topic in Troubleshooting
If removing all the mail data (profiles and data files) doesn't work I'm out of ideas other than a fresh install. -
Just Google Windows 10 won't wake from sleep tons of people with the same issue. Turning it off seems to be the only resolution.
-
? Why are we looking at hardware? This is a Windows issue, a known Windows issue. Turning sleep/hibernate off is the fix, not a bandaid (as far as I know Microsoft has not fixed this).

Deathisgod replied to RandomRestore's topic in Troubleshooting
OK. Then I agree with the other posters. Type 'mail' in Cortana and open the mail settings that show up. Remove all accounts and data files. Restart your comp then start the mail app and add all your accounts again. Any chance you don't have your time zone set correctly? -
Take the back cover off, see if the antenna came off the card.

Windows 10 mail is a bare version of outlook. Is your email with a large provider (Hotmail, Gmail, ymail, etc), or a different company? -

Are using outlook or the windows 10 mail app?
