Acer Aspire 8930G Owner's Lounge

8930G I have a laptop with a Q9000 processor. The notebook, when the processor reaches 70 degrees Celsius, the speed slows down by half. It happen when I run the twice the test Julia of the Everest and check the speed with RMClock.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Sorry for my English.

Bah!! I'm wondering if it is damaged, wonder if there is anyway to figure that out? It just says 'Camera not found', anyone else ever seen this message?

you could try to force driver uninstall via device-manager.. and select opyion remove driver for HD, afterwards download drivers and then SCAN for hardware changes

I just searched for the device in Linux and i couldn't find it listed so i doubt the camera is f**ked. :'( What to do...

Anybody installed Nvidia v195.55 and still able to adjust the screen brightness on the 9700m GT ??

I can do it with the usual Fn + Right/Left arrow and I'm on 195.55 and 9700m GT. Can change it from NVIDIA Control Panel as well.

You are a witness of the famous throttling issue. Most discussed topic here about our 8930G. Do a search for it.

What is the lsusb output? Mine is listed there even when no GUI app lists it.

OMG JUST NOTICED THE SAME 195.55 WITH 9600GT 1024MB VERSION..

Nothing seems to work for getting the screen brightness up or down, for me it's stuck on 50%

Manual changing in POWER option doesn't work, damn this is my first big problem!

PROBLEMS SOLVED WITH 195.62

I found a website where it is said how to enable VT on a 8930G. Seems to works, but I do think it is quite crazy to do so. Anyway if somebody is interested in modding his bios, this may be useful.

Hello everybody,

I ordered also an pcmcia card (sweex firewire) as they said it would fit. i am having however doubts now as i read the quickmanual and there they are talking about that there is an expresscard. now i read that they are totally different! is that so? does the pcmcia card enters the LT?

and as i want to change to w7 64bit..... does someone know this is working?

Thanks a lot for your time and responses.
