Acer Aspire Desktop PC TC no BIOS option inherited

6 month old desktop PC sucks TC.  Mother hates... installed Win8.1 Win10.  She hates that.  She is 76 years old and do not like change. Wants to install Win7 and willing to pay $ 120 for it.

The problem is that the PC does NOT start on a CD.  After reading these and other forums I tried to change the legacy BIOS. Problem... is there NO option in the BIOS to switch to a legacy BIOS!

Now that?

Faxcapper

OK... fine.  Inside the Intel driver installation application there is a Win7 folder... I had to use the Setup.exe in there.

I could not run the installer of the application main itself.  Every time error code.

Thus, all the drivers are now but I had to go to the Intel driver pages and download the driver scanner/update

App.  He finds the video drivers and install them.

Thanks much for helping him raise the former and running BIOS!

  • ACER ASPIRE 471 - E1: UPDATE THE BIOS CRASH

    HELLO, I NEED HELP ON THIS.

    I WAS updating THE BIOS ACER ASPIRE E1 - 471 VERSION 2.11 to 2.18 BUT GOT IN FAILURE, WITHOUT NORMAL MORE to IGNITE.

    WHEN UPDATING THE FILE ORIGINAL WITH THE HELP OF THE ACER SUPPORT WEB SITE, RESTART THE LAPTOP TO WINDOWS POWER ON A BACK PAGE AND DISPLAY IT ON THE SCREEN...

    UPTATING:

    TRUE BIOS VERSION: ZQS 2.11

    NEW VERSION OF BIOS: ZQS 2.18

    PROGRESS...: 0% AND SCOPE WITH A 100% SUCCESS

    AFTER THIS, THE LAPTOP REBOOT AGAIN AND POWER BLUE LED LIGHTS UP BUT NO SCREEN...

    AT THE START OF THE LAPTOP, HARD DRIVE MAKING NOISE OF POWER ON AND.

    NO SCREEN, THE COMPUTER PHONE IS FREEZE.

    ON THE BACK THE INFORMATION OF THIS LAPTOP, THE BOOK SAYS:

    Aspire E1-471-6683

    MODEL NO.: ZQT

    .....

    SNIDS: 31300078979

    So Original BIOS was ZQS but the model said ZQT?

    I have not found a repair for this model, so cannot move too much by myself.

    I found some instructions on the use of USB with the FCN + ESC + Power Buttom combo...

    The use of files with. FD extension inside the USB key.

    I tried 1 for the test and the thing happens as users said.

    Power Led flashes, USB Stick will blink for a few seconds, and then restart laptop.

    BUT STILL FREZZY.

    I think I use the wrog. FD file.

    ACER support website has none. This model in the FD file (or any other type of file, hit. EXE, a)

    You can with ACER Support me?

    Thanks, it is a client of the portable computer of mine, I'm kind of scared at the moment.

    OK, thanks for the reply.

    I got the sollution and will share with you now.

    [edited to conform to the guidelines]

    YOU WILL NEED TO FORMAT A USB STICK WITH FAT (16) PARTITION STYLE.

    -------

    NOW, THE SECRET OF. FD FILE

    YOU MUST PUT IN THE USB THIS FILE WITH THE EXTENSION. FD, BUT THE ACER DOWNLOAD SITE IS ENOUGH. EXE TO THE INSTALLATION, SO YOU GO ON ANOTHER COMPUTER (INCOMPATIBLE WITH ASPIRE E1 VERSION) AND RUN THE FILE...

    YOU RECEIVE AN ERROR MESSAGE, BUT NOT CLICK NOW ON ANY BUTTON.

    NOW, OPEN WINDOWS EXPLORER AND GO TO C:\USERS\(USER ACCOUNT)\AppData\Local\temp\7zS4F0C.tmp

    INSIDE THIS FOLDER, YOU CAN GET THE ST. FD FILE (PERHAPS ZQS.) FD)

    THAT COPY ON USB KEY AND CLOSE THE ERROR MESSAGE. (FOLDER WILL DISAPEAR AFTER THAT)

    WITH THE FILE INSIDE OF THE SECONDARY KEY, FOLLOW THE MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS.

    BASICALLY:

    Steps for the USB storage device BIOS recovery

    To create a crisis USB key, perform the following steps:
    1. format the USB storage drive using the Quick Format option.
    2. save the ROM file (filename: ZQS.fd) in the root directory of the USB storage device. Make sure that there are no other file BIOS stored in the same directory.
    3. plug the USB storage on USB device.
    4. press the button, then connect power cable.
    5. the power button flashes once.
    6. press the Power button to start the CRISIS of the system mode.
    7. when the CRISIS is over, the system auto restarts with a possible BIOS.

    AFTER THAT

    8. update the latest BIOS version for this machine of normal BIOS flashing process.

    YOU MAY HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM LIKE ME, AFTER RECOVERING FROM CRISIS, BIOS NOW SEE THE ANY HARD DISK, SO YOU MUST UPDATE THE BIOS AGAIN WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER TOOL LIKE HIRENSBOOT HELP FIXITURE MINI_XP.

    BUT IT IS ANOTHER CONVERSATION.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11, Acer can be Alt + F10 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  • The Acer Aspire BIOS recovery procedure

    I ran BIOS update program accidentally in my Acer Aspire desktop on windows 10 PC, the program began suddenly and run in the DOS window, then it crashes before finishing, don't know what stage was when crashed on the BSOD, which needed PC to restart to the no reboot No Acer logo, black screen and PC beeps a long short beeps, tried to boot from USB but as long as the screen is black, I can't do anything, only to become recurring beeps.

    You don't know how to recover the BIOS, if someone had this problem with the BIOS and manage to recover the BIOS, I very much appreciate their help on what to do.

    Thank you

    Hi, thanks for the information and the link that I found very useful and informative, to find the good BIOS I couldn't find the option to select the operating system, the operating system is required to download the drivers only. I don't know how to deal with that and if the OS is or is not required when BIOS downloding.

    I also found some information in the user manual on the version of the BIOS and how to recover the BIOS on page 25 failure, but it is unclear what BIOS to use the original during the expedition or the latest version or the other between two release dates?

    What is meant by the wrong BIOS is specific, bad model, or an incorrect date?

    Thank you.

    I look forward to hear from you.

    Hello

    What is the exact error code or error message?

    First of all, I suggest to disable automatic system error reboot and check the error code.

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    Run the Startup Repair tool and check if it helps.

    Startup Repair: frequently asked questions:

    Note: once you see the recovery options, select System Restore and go forward.

    Method 3:

    Run check disk/Repair of environment recovery to check and remove bad sectors on the hard drive.

    Hello
     
    Im having some difficulties to do a clean install of windows 7 64 bit on my acer aspire desktop... I've tried about everything I could think of... to my dvd player would not read the dvd so I plugged in another dvd drive in and copied the files on my hard drive then burned the files to a dvd disk that was not read DVDs and that solved that problem, so I rebooted my pc and it just loaded up vista , so I rebooted again, but went into the bios and changed the MBR on the recorded dvd disc selection and you leave, there are some boots in vista... I do not understand why it does that... so I then upgrade vista 32-bit to windows 7 32 bit and tried all over again... still no luck...

    any ideas?

    I fixed it by a method very few Orthodox... I changed my preference to start on my dvd drive and disabled the hard drive... rebooted, then as he was starting I quickly hit the keys on the keyboard shatter the boot and got to the screen where it says not start in safe mode, last good know Setup, start windows normally and so on... I decided to select start windows normally and it came with the do you want to install windows screen... installed and everything is good, im now running windows 7 home premium 64-bit

  • I don't know if Vista sp1 or sp2 has been installed on the Acer Aspire deskton.

    Hello

    A notification came sayng Vista sp1 must be installed. We had just aiinstalle Norton 360, then we have disabled to install Vista sp1. The download is complete and the computer has begun to install three downloads. The first download is installed without problems and went to the 30% bar install the second download when in the middle of the installation, the computer said computer closing screen. I knew we were in trouble, because he read on the screen during the installation do not stop computer during installation. Message came after the computer restarted him comes from message on the black screen, saying that the computer is not close properly and the 0xc01a001d 37038/95074 (\Registry\machine\components\Derived data...). I tried everything to get it started all the suggestions, but still a black screen, the biggest problem with this computer, is there had never been installed sp1, sp2, or any protection because it was purchased, I think that somewhere to 2006 or 2007 may 2008. It is an Acer Aspire desktop computer.

    Thanks again,

    gmax3

    If she never had no installed protection because it was purchased, my suggestion is simple, albeit drastic.

    Make sure that your backups and serial numbers and product multimedia/installation/etc key is complete and stored on the computer in question.  Restore the system to factory in any way has been given by the OEM, upgrade completely (all service packs and posterior to the service pack updates) and install your anti-virus software. Reinstall your applications on which would not have been restored in the factory reset.  Update all software from third-party manufacturers to their latest versions.  Install all drivers for newer hardware devices.  Restore your personal data on the machine.

    You'll find yourself with something you can do better than what you have now.

  • Cannot enter BIOS or Option of Boot to display on my desktop Acer Aspire M3450

    For the last few days I tried to access in the BIOS or The Boot Options screen by pressing the keys with " DEL " for BIOS and ' F12 ' to The Boot Options screen. Same pressing down both keys on my keyboard and switch to normal startup with Windows 10 logo screen and then type password. I'm sure you know that this office is not supported for parameters of the UEFI. I tried with Settings\Update and Security-Advanced Options- then have 6 names on the double column , but I'm not sure that one to take to solve the problem. Here are the 6 names below:

    System restore

    System Image recovery

    Startup Repair

    Command prompt

    Startup parameters

    Go back to the previous version

    Everything what I wan tis to solve two things by pressing the ekys for BIOS and the Boot Options screen. That's all that I need it. Or I need to reinstall the entire disk operating system Microsoft Windows 10 Home Premium 64?   Either way, my computer's desktop Acer Aspire M3450 game.

    Thank you

    It's a good thing I do not get out the my desktop's CMOS battery. Someone I know told me I 'Try to change the keyboard' Guess - it works now. The USB keyboard that I just bought does not work so I went back to the wireless keyboard that I used all the time. So now my problem is solved.

    Can I ask a question - why doesn't the USB keyboard support to accept that I press the key after the reboot for BIOS or Boot Display Options? Hope that someone here in this forum will answer for that.

    Thank you

  • Acer Aspire V3 772 G BIOS grayed out

    Hello
    I have a laptop Acer Aspire V3 (model G 772-9643), Acer sent me the recovery disks for. The first two steps they registered on the included sheet was to insert the disc labeled "System drive", then reboot and press F12 to get into the boot menu.

    When F12 has not worked for me, I went into the BIOS with F2 and discovered that F12 Boot has been disabled. I tried to go down with the arrow, but couldn't. All the options are greyed out, even on the other sections in the menu of the BIOS. Time and date system were virtually the only things not greyed out. Until I have enable F12 I can not change the order of boot on CD/DVD and cannot start the process of recovery with Acer discs, so I'm completely stuck now.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's urgent because I really need this laptop for the school that has already started. The laptop is very expensive, it is important that I try to repair rather than buy a new one.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    If you already save and exit the BIOS, enter the BIOS again and check if the options are still grayed out.

    Acer Aspire V3 - 772G - BIOS setup utility menus have disappeared

    I have install this laptop brand new, pre-installed with Windows 8.1 for my sister-in-law who bought it.  The installation went well BUT the 16 GB USB device I bought such as advised by the literature of Acer to store the recovery partition was not large enough, 14.4 GB physical capacity.  Acer the book says to use a 16 GB or more, so I did.  I naively thought that a USB key which has been marked 16 GB would be appropriate.  Not the case.  I had to buy a bigger but am still waiting for delivery.

    So I decided to any HARD drive to save the work I had done, but found only the Acronis Backup and Recovery DVD would not start the image.  I went into the utility configuration and adjusted the start parameters to inherited and modified device priority.  Acronis wouldn't so I did not continue.  I went back into the configuration utility, use F9 to restore the default value and to my astonishment that the DUAL boot option was now gone and Windows startup option was also gone.

    This means that £800 this laptop is now unusable.  The installer standalone reconfigured without warning.  Nowhere is there at - it advice or advice do not use the Setup utility when it erases the features that cannot be recovered by using F9 to restore the default configuration.  If this isn't a serious design flaw, I don't know what is.

    I am deeply worried because the idea of a BIOS setup utility behave in this way seems so unlikely that I wonder if anyone will believe me.  How are the Setup utility has been designed to self-harm like this?

    Your suggested action works!  Thank you very much.  You saved my life.

  • BIOS in an Acer Aspire 8942.

    I'm locked in my BIOS on an ACER Aspire 8942 and I reset the default BIOS and need the factory password to change it as I don't have access. I was doing a refresh and in some way I hit enter and it must have set a password I do not know if it me locked out.

    Thanks for any help... Ed

    Have you tried to remove the battery and power. Press and hold the power button to try to reset the bios? Another option is to see that if you have a bios re - configure the jumper pins usually located in the compartment of the DRAM module on the bottom of the machine - it should be located somewhere on the outskirts of the DRAM module, so you should not remove the module.
