V3 772g 2nd Hard Disk Powering Down

0
0

After installing an mSATA SSD (which became Disk 0) alongside the existing SATA HDD (which became Disk 1) and clean installing Windows 10 I am experiencing a really annoying issue.

 

The 2nd HDD being 1TB vs the 120GB SSD I installed, is where I will be keeping all my games etc. I hear the HDD spin down after just a few seconds, and everytime I need to get something off of it, have to wait a moment for it to spin up before I can open files or folders. This wouldn't be a huge deal, but even in the middle of games, if they are not accessing the drive constantly, it falls asleep, and when they do need to pull in some more data, the game ends up griding to a halt waiting on the drive to spin up so it can load the next section. This is absolutely game breaking!

 

I have set the hard drive to never turn off in advanced power management, but it seems this only affects the system disk. When I boot into Windows 8, it works perfectly without ever powering down, I'm guessing since it's the system disk. I also tried turning off the USB suspend stuff, just on the off chance. It seems completely independent of the power settings, after all, even if it were set to turn off after 10 minutes, it'd never be an issue whilst gaming. It's shutting off after just seconds of having been used. I can open up my pictures, and if I want to look at more than 1, I have to be pretty fast to move to the next one otherwise it's gone beddybyes again.

 

How do I stop it powering down without using a ridiculous tool to constantly write a blank file to it?


ACER VN7-592G-74F6 trackpad problems

0
0

Hi, i've just bought this pc, but i immediately noticed that the trackpad it's not well put together. It is slightly lifted on the bottom edge, i can almost see what's underneath, and when i tap on it (not click) it makes a really (REALLY) terrible sound.
So i got back to the store, i swapped with a new one, but.... the problem is still there, identical.
Also, the one exposed has a similar problem, it is not lifted, but is positioned all the way up, so that on the bottom there is a big gap (but at least that one does not move when you tap it).
What should i do? Of 3 notebooks that i've seen, every single one has similar issues.
Should i return it and get my THOUSAND EUROS back?
How can Acer put this few attention to the way ther pc are assembled? And it's not even a cheap one...
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6mRkcmR2CnzLWp3MlR4Sm9nUjA

At the moment, after seeing that every unit is assembled this bad i don't see any solution other than getting my money back and going to some other brands....

ps: I also get some annoyng light bleeding when i very lightly touch the screen frame, but only on black screen.
This also is something you don't expect on a 1000 euros pc (1000 during an offer, without offers it costs 1200 euros)...

Aspire V15 power use is too LOW ! ;) master control powerbar turns off

0
0

Brand new laptop. Mucho better than 6 year old one. Almost TOO energy efficient!!! Smiley Happy

 

Is there a setting in Windows 10 power configs or some Acer setting that I can use to ensure the laptop is always consuming a minimal amount of juice ? I have it set to performance profile, but it's not doing the trick. I have the laptop plugged into the "master" outlet in a power bar. Then the peripherals are plugged in the controlled outlets. The idea is when I take the laptop and go off somewhere, the monitor and printer, external drive, etc... will shut off. No use having phantom power consumed by these devices if they are not used without the laptop right?

 

The problem is as I am sitting here with everything hooked up, I hear/see the master outlet control going on/off, along with it, my secondary monitor goes off for a few minutes until the laptop starts consuming juice again and turns everything back on for 30 seconds or so. repeat ad nauseum.

 

My old laptop apparently always sucks away at enough power to be detected. This new one's too efficient!

Black screen on Acer Aspire V3-571G

0

My screen went black after long transportation and is probably physically broken.

Unfortunately during several attempts to upgrade windows 8.1 to 10 the Intel graphic driver was inactivated so I can no longer use laptop with neither hdmi nor vga cable.

 

I've tried to remove cmos battery in order to reset BIOS without success.

Also tried to flash BIOS Q5WV1221.exe file from a USB-stick (fat32) pressing Fn + Esc + power button without success.

Would it activate Intel Graphic driver to flash BIOS with USB-stick? How is that done?

Any suggestions how to activate Intel Graphic driver with a totally black screen?

Battery problem V5 573G

The battery suddenly stopped working of my V5 573G (i5-4210U, GTX850m). So I ordered a new one, which worked great but after a week or two it also suddenly stopped working. Both times it just happened out of the blue. Could the problem lay within my laptop or did I just have bad luck with my batteries?

 

The laptop is not used often as I own a good desktop. So most of the times it was used around 8 hours a week. 

 

Thanks in advance!

Acer Aspire V5-171 Wifi button greyed out and not working. URGENT

0
0

Hello all. So a day ago my Ethernet wasn't working and I couldn't rely on a wired connection, so I looked at some fourms and was told to remove the Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet driver, which is what I did, and I restarted the computer. When I turned it back on I reinstalled the driver and the ethernet worked. But the WIFI did not. 

 

So I looked up how to fix it and attempted to reinstall the driver and I also added another driver in the process. None worked and I've tried nearly everything to fix it. Installing a new driver, reinstalling, flushing dns, disabling and enabling the service, even reinstalling the BIOS, and tons of other stuff but I've had no luck so far. The wierd thing that happens is the WIFI option is greyed out but the Network Connections say it's enabled.

Also, in Device Manager when I go to the Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet driver it says "Device Not Started" Any idea what's causing the immense amount of problems I'm dealing with on my computer?

P.S. I won't be able to post for a few days, because of a trip and I cannot bring my computer because it's usless if I don't have ethernet. So please hurry because I will be leaving tommorow. On 8/8/16

 

Thanks, Brad

Acer Aspire V5-471PG Limited Connection

Hello everyone,

 

I have an Acer Aspire V5-471PG since 3 years and I have a running issue since several weeks now.

Every 20-60 minutes the Wifi is "limited" and I have to automatically repair the connection.

Usually the problem was "problem with access point or network card" or sometimes "no valid IP configuration" (in French so I do not know wether it is the good translation but that's the idea ;-) ) 

This is not the wifi connection since I encounter this problem with different wifi access points.

 

The network card is Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222

 

I already updated drivers from Acer support site but nothing has changed...

 

Would you have an idea on how to solve this issue? 

 

Thank you very much,

 

Alex.

Aspire V15 Hard Drive Problem

0
0

My Aspire V3-575T has stopped working last Saturday and I can't fix it.

 

It basically started when it froze in MS Office and restarted. Since then, it refuses to boot up.

 

It hangs on the Acer logo with no sign of the operating system funtional. The loading sign doesn't even show up.

 

Occasionally, it shows a blue screen quoting "Your PC couldn't start properly" along with the description of "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed." (Error Code 0xc000000f)

 

I have tried "bootrec.exe /FixBoot, /ScanOS, /RebuildBCD. I've tried startup repair stating "Repairing Disk Errors, this may take over an hour to complete." with no progress overnight. I've tried updating the UEFI BIOS with no help. (Not to mention the Hard Disk Password in the Security tab is labeled "frozen". I've even tried a clean install failing with "couldn't write to regristry."

 

Could this mean hard drive failure, I mean, I'd think it'd be unlikely since I've only had the laptop for five months.
