Hi!
I'm using an Acer E5-572G.
Regularly I have it hooked up to my TV-screen,
My main issue occurs primarily when I watch videos:
- Sometimes when only watching videos on the TVscreen and leaving the built in monitor idle.
- Sometimes when using heavy graphical programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop, working in large excel-sheets or typing code.
The issue:
Suddenly, up to once an hour the computer freezes in the middle of a video and the sound goes haywire in a millisecond loop or something. No commands are possible at this stage and the computer does not respond to any input except for a hard reset, removing the hdmi-cable or closing the lid does nothing.

Secondary issue
- Start up has been really slow since day 1, didn't react on how slow it was until I started full time work and my collegues mentioned my work computer was anciently slow, I myself thought it was just the same as my private computer... after upgrading to an Asus computer with an SSD and similiar gear as this E5-572G I was appauled at the difference in start up times...
------------
Tertiary issue
- Network
- When logging on to my schools wi-fi and testing the bandwidth, I get only about 1-10% (10Mbit/s down, 0,1Mbit/s up) whereas my fellow students get around 100-1000Mbit/s down and 100MBit/s up.
- At home about once a week my connection to my home network just magically stops working on the computer but not on any of my other devices.
Conclusion - Never again an acer
Let's hope this forum can give me some answers... not being able to send a support e-mail or even fill in i form is just beyond all critique when everything is wrong with the product...
PS the mouse pad is really lousy too...
