Acer Aspire 7750g Owner's Thread

That doesn't make it acceptable.. especially if I'm only using the touchpad

I use this laptop as a desktop replacement since it is so big. I only use wired and bluetooth mouse. Have a mini usb bluetooth dongle.

I hate touchpads. Only use it in safe mode when I have to.

Hello guys! New here but I've seen some pretty solid tips from doing research on my laptop's persisting problems.

Here's what I have:
Acer Aspire 7750G-6444.
Intel i5 Core 2.3 GHz, Turbo Boost up to 2.9GHz.
AMD Radeon HD 6650M, 1 GB VRAM.
4 GB DDR3 RAM.

Here's the problem:
I've sent this laptop in three times now due to an issue that (thankfully) has yet to recur just yet. It's been spontaneously rebooting on me after about 3 hours of gameplay.

First time: motherboard replacement.
Second time: scanned the RAM, found it had loads of errors, RAM replacement.
Third time: they claimed there were no problems and that it was some third-party software I was using. (Right...)

Upon receiving it after the third time reformatted, I reformatted it again and reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, the version that came with the laptop to begin with. Reinstalled drivers, upgraded drivers to the latest versions (12.8), and for awhile it seemed like everything was running smoothly. The fan was steadily spinning as I played games, keeping the laptop cool, and I was able to play several games beyond the breakpoint of 3 hours by at least an hour twice or thrice.

I decided to try running a game again just now, and it's back to doing what it was before. The fan won't spin and push heat out of the system until some seemingly arbitrary temp, while overall the system is running hot and the fan vents out disturbingly hot air. I'm not sure what to do beyond maybe opening the case and dusting it out, but as mentioned, the fan was working just the other day, making me very confused as to what's going on. Any help whatsoever would be appreciated, as Acer's support hasn't been very effective at all at assisting me with my troubles.

If you're thinking it's heat, the first thing I would do is monitor it with HWMonitor and try to reproduce it while paying attention to temps.

I've done that. It's definitely heat and the fans inconsistently working, I'm pretty sure.

What temps are you seeing when you have problems with it? How computer savvy are you? I can give you a ton of things to try

Didn't mean to offend, was talking to the guy above you who has been having some problems with his laptop. I should have quoted him when I replied

Hello,

I bought Acer Aspire 7750g too, few months ago and I have one problem. My configuration is i5 2450m 2,5ghz, 6gb DDR3, AMD Radeon HD 7670M and 750GB HDD.
I bought original cage and back cover for second HDD and installed Samsung SSD 128Gb.
I made fresh install on SSD (Windows 7 64bit), which is now primary disk and formated old 750Gb, which is now used for data (no system).
All works fine, except one thing - when I run laptop on battery is second disk - HDD always spinning and starting - every minute or two, when I'm browsing on internet, search for files etc...
Example 1 - I open just windows explorer then I open some folder on HDD and I hear HDD starting - bzzz, explorer freezes for few seconds and after spinning it is folder open.
example 2 - I have win7 and Chrome on SSD - I open new tab in Chrome, HDD bzzz starts again and after few seconds new tab is opened.
If laptop is plugged in electricity HDD is quiet, isn't starting and nothing lags.

I think HDD isn't getting enough power on battery.
I tried many solutions:
- upgrade BIOS to last version
- upgrade chipset drivers
- completely format HDD and make new partition
- disable turn off HDD after X minutes in win7
- tried all power plans - Usually I have set to max. performance. Tried power saver, LCD brightness on minimal - HDD keeps starting.
- tried to change HDD and SSD in laptop - SSD on first SATA instead original HDD, and HDD on second place and HDD on first and SSD on second...no effect.
- checked smart status of SSD and HDD with different programs - all OK.
- disable all startup and tray programs, open just windows explorer or total cmd and clicking in folders..

Does anybody have idea?
