    Those acers are bad computers it might be an unrecoverable error. If it's in warranty I would take it to the shop.

    Try tapping F8 during boot to see if you can get to safe mode

    Have a v5-472p, not exactly your scenario but mine would not boot at all at one point, under warranty at the time so brought it back for repair. Motherboard was replaced & has been ok since, would not buy acer again, overall quality is poor. I am on my second rear cover, the screw holders break off very easily, 2nd one is taped on now, very flimsy !
