Here is a link to the instructions for access to the recovery partition on Acer. See if you can access that partition and recover the installation. I'm going to venture a guess here and say it may well have been a vid driver update from Windows Update that has done this to you.
You can test that by disconnecting your internet before you try the recovery, so that no drivers will be downloaded from WU. You can follow the initial instructions on that link without need to see anything and if you get access to the recovery partition, it should (I hope) be running on VGA drivers and you will get a limited but functioning display to see to continue. Pending your success so far, I would disable the updating of any hardware drivers from WU. This is done by right click on start button and selecting control panel>icons>system>advanced system settings>hardware tab>device installation settings tab>select "no" and ok out.
I will monitor this thread and be available for any questions. Good luck. PS: If after you try to access the recovery partition, you find there isn't one there, I would immediately call the Co you purchased it from and get them to make it right.
Edit: I read that link some more and traced it back to the referenced article which gives better info: http://www.pctechbytes.com/acer/acer...very-partition
