Dear..
Its not fault of laptop.. its that your system is infected with virus and misconfigured..
I bet upon it..
also, from your post it appears you have limited computer knowledge..so first show it to some friend who is computer geek..
Hi,
i am using the same product from last 3 months. its a gr8 one and price tag is good compare to other manufacturer of the same configuration . i am able to run high end graphic games, dual boot and visualization software till now i don't face any problem with my system. it is fast compare to my friends Compaq machine. you should re install the OS from the recovery CD provided with the laptop. may that will solve the problem and for free and worthy anti virus download avast home edition it is free of cost (just you have to register you email id for code)

it seems u have been payed by some other company...

coz in all the forums u r the only 1 with complaints...

i[censored] cant help people dont misguide them
Don't loose heart .There is no problem with system.Primarily I believe the system came with LINUX preloaded and you loaded Xp or Vista later.
Case-1-If yes then check if you have a proper antivirus or not, if you don't have an antivirus first download AVAST and install on your system, create boot time scan which the antivirus asks for, by default after first installation .Restart the system and let the antivirus scan the system and try curing all infected files found.If it doesn't help check in task manager that any program is using more processor time(processor usage) then needed.
Case-2-If no(Vista preloaded) the check if all the drivers are installed properly or not.Then try the first step(mentioned before).
If nothing helps then take the Laptop to the service center or retailer, don't tell them the real problem, just ask them to Power on the PC them selves, just tell them that the PC is not booting at times and ask them to check if there is any problem and act as if you don't know anything about the problem.
Make sure you are using a genuine windows or else the customer care or the dealer will not help you.They'll just say that if you use a genuine windows the problem will be solved.

Please learn some basics of PC hardware and trouble shooting. The more you experiment, the more you learn, trust me, I have seen people using lappies for 5 years without a clue of what OS they are using.I'd assume that you know that much at least.And before going to the customer care gain a minimal knowledge of you hardware so that if they ask some thing then you can save your back.
I have helped my friends buy ACER 4520 and 4530 both and believe me the Games which my 1.5 GB 64 athlon 128MB grafix card couldn't run, these laptops were able to run pretty smooth.I loaded both the notebooks with loads of customisation tools which use lots of system resources and make windows vista look like outdated old model OS. I played NFS Most wanted and NFS Carbon at highest specs connecting the laptop (4520 model and 4530 was even better) to my projector .
Mail me in case you need any help.
boss...

format your hard disk for removing linux and then install windows or whatever os you are using as the linux which comes with acer is not out of box!
is that you that doesn't know how to use it
i'm using with it
Acer 4530 is good
only the dump like you who doesn't know how to use it!
Read all the comment above and try to work it up
I just installed XP on my acer 4530. I got all drivers installed and run. But still 1 hardware under PCI has "processor" with yellow flag saying driver not correctly installed. Im not sure what driver it preferred as all drivers are installed ( I think).
and then when I installed avast the system wont accept.it just stop wont continue with installation process. tried installed AVG. installed ok but it not working ok cause it treated most of my exe files as virus. I found winamp and webcam exe file missing and some dll files also missing after AVG caught them and treated them as virus and put them in its save placed.
please anyone help me?

thanks.
i have acer 4530, and i have problem about system camera.so...don't buy acer produc
If there is any hardware problem sure you can get it fixed .the laptops usually comes with at least 1 year warranty .As somebody said in this post above i seriously doubt that some marketing rivals are on loose.
As with the configuration i think its the best one (for gamers) available for cheaper price.i am looking forward to buy this laptop.Lengthy system boot times can be caused by the following reasons.
1> the loading o[censored]nwanted windows services,
2>many programs getting initialized on start up,
3>or due to virus or Trojan infections,
first problem can be solved by disabling unwanted services(search the web on how to disable services.. its easy).uninstall unnecessary programs to increase boot speed .scan with Trojan hunters like a-squared or Avira.
only this much can be the cause on software side.
if your laptop is making heavy krrrrr..!! krrrrr..! sound it must be hard disc problem which can also apparently slow down the system.get it fixed from the vendor if you thing the problem is with hard disc, as it can only get worse..
Though I dont have a good opinion on Acer, they make lousy laptops and customer care is pathetic (all due to 2 year long experience). I read good reviews of the Acer 4530. I recommend like others have said, a thorough check using Avast antivirus, check for driver updates. I hope you get this rectified. Best thing would be to take it back to the place you bought it from.
Regards,
Ravi
i disagree. i have an aver 4530 laptop and it never dissappointed me. It runs fast and runs all the applications i need. i can even play nfs undercover and run adobe photoshop cs4 flawlessly. maybe the problem is how you use your computer. your notebook may have an infiltration. and another is that HP has a very bad customer service and the lenovo notebooks are very expensive for a very crappy spec.
I have also 4530 I m satisfy with it. It perform very good task like gaming, Animation Design with chief cost.
Other company can not provide this configuration at this price so it is best for high graphic application.
I m student of B.E. IT my friends also using this models they are:-
Imran
Tabrez
They also satisfy
i bought same laptop at Rs. 30500, last year, i came to notice that the left speaker is not working properly, i took it to the service center they approved that the speaker is malfunctioning and i take the laptop to the dealer and belive me they at the time replace and give me the new laptop. And the laptop is working fine till now. And its better and reasonable than other laptops, and it is very worth to me because i njoy many latest game on it... :)
If you have prob than call on the acer call center no. or visit to the nearest service center.
Go and throw your notebook in the dust bin !!!
my problem with my acer 4530 is with regards to its camera. it malfunctions. i recently reinstalled it with the suyin driver provided at the acer euro site and after installation, the camera worked. however, after i reboot the system, it no longer works. so, i tried reinstalling it but the same thing again happens. what do you think is the problem?
Oh!! God it is Excellent laptop with good configuration... i sugessted go through everyone..
