Acer Aspire 7750g Owner's Thread

[dan1b]

Did anyone tried to use 8gb sodimms in this laptop w/i5-2450m ?
Or use the four memory slots with 4gb sodimm with same or non quad core cpu?

Any benefit for using modded BIOS other than overclocking or more control of switchable graphic?

Not really, at least in my application.

For me, that was the reason I wanted the modded BIOS. The OEM BIOS which only allows assigning programs to the AMD GPU did not work well at all. Now I can just select the AMD GPU full time.
Also activated OverDrive in CCC and raised clocks just a bit with no significant rise in temperature but significant performance increase.

There are a bunch of unlocked settings in the modded BIOS but I've been too chicken to experiment with them.

I do clean out my vents, yeah, but I've never actually opened the laptop to clean it from inside. Should I?

The computer never gets too hot. According to Speed Fan, the CPU never gets over 40 degrees Celsius and the GPU never really gets over ~65ish. The power brick, though, has gotten really hot to the touch, though it's not always that hot when it stops working.

Thanks for the help!

Hey, just checking in about this again: I ordered a new AC adapter to see if that was the issue, and turns out it wasn't. So that leaves something wrong with the computer itself, which sucks. Thanks.

Add failing motherboard capacitor to that list and I'd say the the majority of sources for the problem.

Sorry to hear that. Probably what FiremanX said then.

Hi,

Same problem here (7750G I5 2410 with Radeon 6850). I too did a check of the AC adapter (even bought a new one) and the problem persisted for a few months and got progressively worse each day. It got to the point I couldn't even start up the good 'ol Guild Wars. Acer Support wasn't helping any either.

And then it magically fixed itself. Everything started working tip top...until this Friday, when it started hiccuping again. This coincided with the Ati Driver update 12.4, so you might want to look into that.

Anybody know how start acer epower management utility with setup options?
Something like here How to Slow Down a CPU Fan | eHow.com

I can see process epowertray.exe, epowerevent.exe, but that is all.

I just wanna try slowing down cpu fan.

Epower management has no control over fan speed. It's just a replacement for a Windows power scheme and not much more.
