Delete the sound drivers and let Windows install the drivers automatically. However, make sure you take a backup of drivers and applications using the Acer Backup Manager before you do so..just in case.

@Yuna if you want to control the GPU voltage from within windows install the stock Bios and try nvidia inspector. This tool allows one to change clocks and voltages from within windows and does work with my 3830TG.

Can i use your bios with only extended menus?

Edit: i think it works, but i can have only 2 steps: 0.80 and 0.85, no mediocre

You should be able to as long as its not the one with the modded vbios as well. The modded vbioses won't allow certain options to work in Nvidia inspector.

i tried "1.10 Menus" - no go, can't allow me to change. I should try ACER 1.10 stock bios instead?

to CoLDxFiRE: Hi, thx for your reply. 16GB WORKS IN 3830TG WITH ONLY 2CORE CPU? Its super I buy second ram only 4gb samsung 1333mhz cl9 because I think that this notebook acer aspire 3830tg with 2core intel core i5 2410m + hm65 support only 8GB max. Ok so I sell my 2*4gb and buy 2*8

I removed down lid, but not changed thermal paste - still shutting down after 5 min of simultaneous Kombustor + Linpack. This time? CPU overheat 100C -> shutdown.

So, for me removing grills from laptop down side - will not help.
Do i need to tear down whole laptop to replace thermal compound? Or i can remove cooling from down lid and then replace it back?

What TimelineX do you own? My 3830TG required a full teardown to replace the TIM.

Try the stock bios and see how it plays with nvidia inspector as well.

Anyone having trouble running Diablo III heat wise? My laptop has stock bios and gpu clocks running on x17 multiplier on a cooling pad and I'm still getting temps of 88 celcius running all settings on low at 1280x720 resolution. Performance isn't an issue, its just the crazy heat. I hope to play this game for a while but I don't think my laptop can last under this crazy heat load, does anyone have any tips short of applying new thermal paste?

3830TG ( Crap... i need to go into service - if i teardown it, i will not be able to make it back

About bios, nv inspector can't change on stock bios gpu voltage either.
