Common Acer Error Codes
Acer laptops and desktops show BIOS warnings and Windows errors when hard drives or operating systems fail. Here are the most common ones we see on Acer systems.
No Bootable DeviceAcer’s BIOS can’t find a drive with an operating system — the hard drive may have failed or become disconnected.
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICEWindows blue screen indicating the OS can’t access the system drive — common after updates or drive failure.
CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIEDA critical Windows process crashed — often caused by corrupted system files on a failing drive.
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUMEWindows can’t access the boot partition — typically file system corruption or physical drive damage.
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERRORThe system couldn’t read data from the drive — a strong indicator of hard drive failure.
WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERRORA hardware error detected by Windows — can indicate drive, memory, or other hardware issues.
Operating System Not FoundBIOS passed POST but found no OS to load — the drive may be dead or the partition table is destroyed.
S.M.A.R.T. Failure PredictedThe drive’s self-monitoring system is reporting imminent failure — back up data immediately.
PXE-E61: Media Test FailureThe system is trying to network boot because no local drive was found — the hard drive has likely failed.
Automatic Repair LoopWindows keeps cycling through repair attempts without success — often indicates serious drive or OS corruption.
CPU Fan Error / Thermal ShutdownAcer systems may display a ‘CPU Fan Error’ during BIOS POST or shut down abruptly from overheating when the fan fails. Acer laptops — especially Aspire and Nitro models — are prone to dust accumulation that blocks fan airflow.
Seeing one of these errors? Don’t keep restarting — continued use of a failing drive can make data recovery harder or impossible. Call us at 703.635.4265 or schedule a repair for fast diagnosis.
