So I was playing minecraft on my acer. I got up to go to the bathroom. (It took me about 30 seconds) I came back and my screen was blank. I tried turning it off and back on again. It booted up and it said "acer" on the screen like always. Then the screen went black and there was a white line blinking at the top left of the screen. I asked my dad but he doesn't know what to do. Has anybody had the same problem and does anyone know how to fix it?

If your computer isn't starting up, this sounds more like an issue with the computer rather than minecraft. I'd suggest finding somewhere else to get technical help, or if you can't find it, try calling acer customer service.
The acer logo and white line are perfectly normal after turning the power on and off (although I advise you to avoid doing that). Anyway, did the computer continue to load windows after the white line?
To be honest, any number of things could have gone wrong during that 30 seconds and the issue may not have anything to do with minecraft itself.

The while line would keep blinking at the top left. I've tried letting the battery run out and then recharging it but it doesn't work. I've tried to use the back up disk but it won't work. I guess I just thought that it had something to do with minecraft being open because it was the only thing open at the time I left. I'll try to call the acer customer service to see what's wrong. Thanks for trying to help!Edit: Oh and the computer didn't continue to load windows the white line would keep blinking. I left it on for 10 hours (with the charger plugged in) and the white line was still there blinking. I just wanna be able to play minecraft again on my PC and have access to my computer.

If you know anyone savvy with technology, tell them to try resetting the board. Do you know anything about the BIOS?

It's a common mistake people make, attributing hardware or software failure to the program that was open at the time of the failure. Although I can think of a few examples where software can make a computer over heat or cause issues with other software, I doubt it's the case in this instance. At any rate, contacting professionals sounds like a good idea.

Understandable you want access to your computer but you need to be patient acer computers take exactly 11 hourse to reboot after a hard reboot, not a mere 10.
How long were you using your computer? It might have gotten over heated and that had gotten damaged. I would suggest going to geek squad or some other tech service for help.

Is the computer overheating at all?

My friend's father is a professional so I'm going to ask him. Also, I've been doing some research and it says that if you hit alt/f10 it will reset but I might lose all info so that's a last resort. Thanks for trying to help.

My computer has only overheated once in the 3 years I've had it so I don't think that's a problem. (It overheated a week after I got it)
I have never heard of that issue in my entire life....
Well, I can conclude, something is VERY wrong :/
Actually something isn't VERY wrong. It's something other people have seen before and know how to fix but I don't want to do what they say yet. Most people say to hit alt and f10 but it could wipe everything off from your computer so I'm going to use that as a last resort. My friend's father is a computer fixer so he should know what to do.
A situation like this is the exact reason I keep a backup of my world on a USB stick.\
Anyway, I think it is a good idea to let your friends dad take a look first, it's always better to have someone who knows what they're doing when something like this happens.

Ya. I'm going to ask him tomorrow. Also, I did try to use the backup disk. It didn't work.

...but that's just like, my opinion, man.
My friend's dad is in a computer fixing company so I could ask him. I'll try telling him to reset the board.
