Laptop freezing 10 minutes after start-up

Done that, got these two screens

I don't remember seeing that first screen when performing a factory restore on an Acer.

The second picture says bad HD to me with that I/O error that is mentioned.

I'm thinking that the abortive attempt at reinstallation has upset the HDD.

You really need to boot it up from a source other than the hard-drive, and I wish you'd said you needed data from it before someone advised you to try the repair (which would never work if you have CPU overtemps as you do).

See my previous advice on methods for alternate boot sources.

As above, your next step needs to be creating a Linux Live CD/USB.

Been a while since I've made one, I still use one I made about 6 years ago.

Something like that should suffice.

@PeterJB Did you get this fixed?

 

[PeterJB]

Yeah, sorry. A few weeks ago I got a new HDD put in, as the old one had pretty much completely died. Lost all of my data, but almost all of it was reinstallable, or on my USB.
