Check to see if the RAM fell out. Reseat information technology anyhow. But it shouldn't shut off if the RAM is bad. If it shuts off its because it'southward losing power or over heating.

I agree with re-seating the RAM. Seen this happen more than once.

The RAM is OK, is New! Could it be the CPU? or motherboard. OR I should consider ownership a new Battery!, or an adaptable fan

In the past the computer did shutt off out nowhere while it was in used and that was because the left side of the laptop overheat

That's OK that the RAM is new, but y'all could have a bad stick of retentiveness. Practise you lot still have the sometime RAM? if so put it dorsum in and meet if the problem is persistent.

Take out the battery, concord power down for 10 seconds. connect laptop directly to power source. try to turn on. results?

I would say the RAM is probably bad, or needs to be reseated. Plus there is no promise that the memory is compatible with your laptop (had an result like that about a calendar month ago).

EDIT: Just saw your post.

If the memory is not the problem, and so maybe when the laptop cruel the heatsink lost it'due south "grip" on the processor, and information technology is overheating in a few seconds...

Expert Luck!

Perhaps bad retentivity slot? Did you try just 1 stick of memory, then the other, to dominion that out?

Jeremy, I have washed that about xxx seconds ago, but null yet. Brent, I accept try just putting one memory then the other one, but zippo, Perhaps the heatsink lost it's grip on the processor like you say and if thats the problem, what should I do?

Condolences on your recent loss.

At the adventure of being labeled insensitive, I like how the OP starts out:
"My laptop barbarous accidentally to the ground one time," as it reminds me of something a teenager might say, "... but we ONLY had sexual practice ONE fourth dimension!!!!"

thanks for the smile of the day.

I have taken everything out, but I believe is overheating at the start like you guys have say, I'm only gonna buy a new fan and heatsink.

Thanks guys for the inputs.....

Assuming that the heatsink lost information technology's solid connection, it would require a ton of screws to be removed to become to the heatsink. Basically, once you see the heatsink endeavour to wiggle with decent forcefulness to meet if it wiggles. Information technology shouldn't wiggle at all I would say.

One affair that you probably checked is connecting an external monitor. Y'all say the fan stops spinning later a 2nd, but maybe it is going a lot slower (it's not uncommon for it to go all out for the first few seconds, then get downwards to a slow speed). I would wager that something on the LCD console went out over the heatsink condign dislodged.

I know the feeling for Acer's are a chip mixed, merely I wouldn't rule out that the motherboard is bad based just on the fact that Acer made it. I've heard some horror stories about Acer machines, so I wouldn't rule that out.

Something I've seen on a couple Acers. Is that the charger plug tin can suspension its connectedness on the female parent lath. You've basically take a dead computer. If it was plugged in when it fell and especially if information technology landed on the plug, I'd await at that solder joint. If there is fifty-fifty a cleft it might not be getting a expert connection. Its tricky but fixable.

I had the shut of outcome on a Acer Predator. Afterwards installing then many things it was hard to empathise what caused it. I lived with it for about a week before I tried to just use a bootloader like Clover to test being able to boot windows. Turns out it would shut off correct as windows10 would ordinarily showtime animating at the bottom. This made me retrieve it had something to do with Hibernation or some other magic. I looked around online and it turns out under the Command Panel you can search "What your buttons do" and I go down and uncheck "Fast Startup". Turns out this feature tries to put the windows cadre stuff in memory. I already accept a 1800MB/due south SSD and so I thought - Why do I need this? I uncheck it, reboot and bang - fires up every single time now.
