• Acer Aspire XC600 - Windows XP

  I am looking for a new desktop computer, the Acer Aspire XC600 with the following specifications:

  Acer Aspire XC600 - SFF - 1 x Core i5 3330 / 3 GHz - RAM 4 GB - drive HARD 1 x 1 TB - DVD SuperMulti - Radeon HD 7470 - Gigabit LAN - 8 64-bit Windows

  Now, I would like to install Windows XP on this machine, but I need to know with certainty whether or not it will work correctly. I can find drivers Windows XP for the GPU, so it's not any problem. Hard drive and DVD drive no problems either. But I find anywhere what kind of motherboard is in this computer so I can't verify that they are all the XP drivers for it. Can someone tell me what mother/chipset card using this computer and have all the XP drivers available or not? Thank you.

  (WARNING: Yes, I know that Windows XP is almost an existing operating system, and I know that it is very old, poses serious risks of security etc etc "but I need to run XP for some reason).

  Simply, we money went for it and installed all the drivers hand. No problem it is, although it was a serious pain to get the AHCI driver. Took us a while to understand the chipset was a "Intel 6 series/C200". "Intel H61 Express" is simply too broad and impossible to find the right drivers for.

  Anyway, resolved.

• New portable printer HP2540/301 Acer Aspire 1 has no disk drive and a silly user. Help, please...

  I bought myself a nice 5240 again 301 printer all-in-on Wednesday.

  Since then, I have made that fight with him since then.

  My laptop is an Acer Aspire one, one of the smallest, which unfortunately doesn't have a hard drive in it. My first thought went to download drivers. The web page did not work and I realized then, that, without the user manual (which I think is on the disc), I'm totally lost.

  If someone could please help me.

  I made an impression that says.

  Check your network printer name HP (SSID) corresponds exactly to your router (SSID) wireless network name.

  If they do not exactly match, run set up the printer software to set up your HP printer wireless.

  I guess that's the software on the drive. Is it possible to download the software online?

  Any help would be accepted with gratitude that I have no idea what I'm doing atm. I just starting to learn how to properly use Windows 8 atm, so far my computer all skills hass been how to open a browser and an office.

  Thank you.

  I would add also, I downloaded the application too, but which does not recognize that there is a printer at all.

  Hi, here is the link for the driver.

  Link to the user guide.

• Can we do a disassembly video or guide of the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition?

  The laptop in question is the Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition VN7-591 G - 4 K 729V.

  There is literally no clear disassembly video which is in English and subtitled in English. As most of this community knows, the Acer Aspire V15 does not have a maintenance hatch, so you literally have to take off the keyboard as well as all of the top panel to make any kind of change.

  I want to replace the HDD with a SSD and most of the time I don't know where the slot for it, but it's all the other threads that worry me. Knowing what must be disconnected when you lift the keyboard and what belongs in knowing where is a nightmare. I'm not quite trust by opening, can someone make at least a step by step guide, with or without photos or at the most a video in English? Thank you.

  This type of connector you very gently pust both sides of the black bar the White side. Reinstall the cable, you must stand out as you reglissez the water in.

  

  What type of connector do you speak? These 3 connectors which are connected to the keyboard when you lift first open?

  I know they are there, I've done some research, but I hope the employee of acer or qualified members could help me on this.

  Hello

  Of course, the settings are there but no manufacturer help to unlock the BIOS of your laptop.

  Why do you think that these pages exist? https://www.BIOS-mods.com/

  And of course I understand it's frustrating for an advanced user, but this is the case for most laptops (I really want you to tell me one company who gorge yourself you a BIOS unlocked, maybe cyberpowerpc...) and PC more pre-build (not stretch you buying components and some company he assembled but labeled desktop computers).

  I still need to find a company that gives you access to all the parameters of a BIOS for your laptop.

  Now to be short: no doubt, you can unlock your BIOS if you get on other forums who may provide you with instructions (for example the link above), but do not expect that a manufacturer will provide you with assistance.

• Acer Aspire 5720Z with Windows Vista does not start in Windows

  Hi, I had an Acer Aspire 5720Z who begins to give me the infamous error at startup, which brings you to the display of the Startup Repair tool.  When it ends, a pop-up window message saying "Startup can not repair this computer automatically" happens.  I tried all the options in the Windows Vista environment, but at the end he continues to display the same message and startup windows repair cycles over and over again.  And I'm unable to restore, because there is no restore point created.  However, I could get details of the problem and we hope that this information, someone here can direct me to what I do, since all the data of the disk are there, it's just that here I have a kind of corruption of the file to be replaced.  Here is the analytical error:

  Thanks for your help and assistance.

  I thought someone here would have developed an idea for you on this error to fix it now.

  You can try this:

  Follow these steps to try to solve your problems of boot.

   

   

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner:http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  See you soon.

• 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.

• Acer Aspire ES1 - 331 - shield Bluelight Acer does not work

  Hello, user of instant messaging of Acer Aspire ES1-331. I've used it since February 2016 with Windows 8.1

  For a long time, quick access Acer and Acer Bluelight shield worked properly but a few days ago something happened and: WiFi sharing option disappeared (it was under "Rozruch do Desktop") AQA and it has become impossible put absolute earlier when I turned it on or off, it happened immediately. Now, some points will for a few seconds and I get this:

  It means: "you can not control the device. the same thing happens when I change the intensity of the APA - nothing changes, however she can write that it has changed. 'High' level is activated on the display, but you see that it is a lie. I use it on the Admin account of course.

  I reinstalled quick access Acer but nothing has changed and I can't use Acer Bluelight shield.
  The rest of the Acer access options fast work (Wifi and Bluetooth).

  Thanks for reading!

  Don't know why it happened, but you can try the rotation system to a job previously set up.

  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...

  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...

  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.

• Acer Aspire V15 Nitro replace SSD HARD drive

  I bought this laptop in March 2015. This laptop comes with 1 TB of HDD.

  I wanted to replace the HDD SSD but I called the service center (Service of Highpoint), Acer technician told me that there is no way to replace with SSD because the port is different, any SSD can also compatible with this laptop HARD drive port.

  This make me very confuse because I search in google, replace with SSD is quite possible.

  So I'm here to ask for advice. Hope can get a response. Thank you.

  Published:

  My laptop model: Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition (VN7 - 591 G)

  -Core i7 4710Q

  -12 GB OF DDR3 RAM

  -HARD DRIVE 1 TB

  -NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

  you have 2 options on your laptop:

  (1) switch for one SSD 1 TB HARD drive

  (2) add an SSD on form factory M2 on its location (top-left, near the fan), so you can have installed SSD and HDD

  the second option, other users have done so, and sometimes they have had some problems during the recording of the SSD as first boot device (or window Boot Manager), since the BIOS tries to boot from SATA port.

  You can force it by pressing F12 at startup and select the appropriate boot device.

  It is up to you.

• Acer Aspire V3 - 571G not hot.

  Hello

  I have an Acer Aspire V3-571G53216G50Makk for 3 years now.

  But since it's new it kept to reach high temperatures.

  And when I'm games it comes in close to 100 ° C, which is not good for the GPU & CPU.

  But the problem is that the fan does not spin at 100%.

  Does anyone have a solution to change the fan speed?

  Things like Speedfan, Acer FanController do not work.

  Or if Acer could update FanController program, it would be useful.

  I hope someone could help me

  Greetings,

  David

  Hello

  Well, to my knowledge there no software provided by Acer that could help you control the speed of the fan for your computer. I had some heat issues with my laptop, and some people suggested me to change the thermal paste. I did and I got a temperature much better after changing thermal paste in some applications (notably for the GPU), but in other cases, the only thing I did is to reduce the thermal regulation. For example in AIDA64 extreme stress test usually my CPU was about 2.2 Ghz front at full load (97 C) due to the thermal regulation. After changing thermal paste, my CPU running constantly at about 2, 9 - 3.0 Ghz (97). (I7-4720HQ processor 2.6 ghz) So I had less control but as you can see it the same temperature. Overall is a very good improvement in my opinion.

  Then you can try to change the thermal paste and see if this can help you. However, this idea is not very good if you do not have a good understanding of the computer and also a good guide to how to disassemble your computer.

• Acer Aspire 572 E1 NIC

  Hello

  I had my computer Acer Aspire E1-572 some time in 2014 and it was very good for my use in photo retouching and such, it can be a little slow at times but otherwise works relatively well. It is a model with intel i7, so I really had high expectations for it, but recently it has me pushed beyond edge of frustration. The internet is catastrophic.

  First, I should probably point out that I'm absolutely useless when it comes to computer jargon. I did my research, read works around the problem but have not yet found anything that solved my problem with certainty or was possible for me to understand, and still less to make. I am nowadays primarily a mac user and windows 8.1 is my idea of a nightmare. However, I like to use the Acer now and then, more recently, I can't really leave this issue continue, otherwise, I'm sitting here with an expensive computer that is really more hassle that it is worth.

  My Internet home works well for other devices and it is not a problem that Acer does not have wi - fi, it is, nice and clear, but untilising it is almost impossible. 3/5 bars of internet so I expect at least some kind of feedback from her. It will sort of blow along some time, then load, then work stoppage or just simply load at all. For this, many people model seems to go configuring power management settings, I did and there was maybe a bit small (?) improvement but I wasn't definitely jumping for joy. The internet is still a step forward, two steps back. All the other advice just went straight over my head, it means nothing to me.

  It is difficult to recall that it was never my computer "navigation", but I don't think when I got it, I don't have this problem. He could not have won races of speed, but this actually worked. I was wondering if maybe the 8 to 8.1 windows update had thrown a key in the works, but this is speculation on my part.

  I then come to the drivers, I wondered if that was the question that a lot of people mention it in various forums. Similarly, I don't know about this. I used the search for drivers acer to find compatible drivers for my model:

  Wireless LAN: Atheros (Wireless LAN Driver - Driver WLAN + BT) Version 10.0.0.285

  Wireless LAN: Atheros (wireless LAN driver) Version 10.0.0.263

  Wireless LAN: Atheros (Wireless LAN Driver - Driver WLAN + Bluetooth) Version 10.0.0.263

  Wireless LAN: Broadcom (wireless LAN driver) Version 6.30.223.170

  Great... except that I don't know that I need (or if I need them at all) what to download and what to do with it when I went through the laborious download process.

  I don't want to take it back to the store, it's always a huge concern, and I hope that it is something that can actually be fixed at home.

  Any help would be sincerely appreciated (especially if it's something that I can understand) that I'm close to despair with the accursed thing!

  Thank you.

  Try this Acer support:

• Acer Aspire One d270 ram upgrade

  I recently bought a netbook Acer Aspire One D270-1806. It comes with 1 GB of Ram.

  I'm looking for this move to 2 GB. I could not find a service manual for this netbook.

  Can someone point me in the right direction?

  I've seen some posts saying that the upgrade of ram D270 was deemed not user replaceable. Although Acer may have tried not user replaceable; It is altogether. It was so easy. I went on the standard of 1 GB of Ram for a 2 GB key in about 10 minutes.

  Here's the video I used:

  I have a friend with an Acer Aspire One AOD255E.

  He got an Intel Atom Processor N455 @ 1.66 GHz

  1.0 GB OF RAM

  32-bit Edition of Windows 7 Starter

  Skype has worked on the machine.  He said that there is an update available, so the user updated, but since the update, Skype cannot start.

  The Skype version before the update was 6.05.  The updated release of Skype was 6.11.

  There are some Windows updates, and Norton 360 has been installed since the 6.05-> 6.11 update.

  What I tried:

  • Uninstalled Skype 6.11
  • Reinstalled Skype 6.11
  • Uninstalled Skype 6.11
  • Installed Skype 6.05
  • Close the Norton 360 anti virus and firewall
  • A system restore before the updates of Windows
  • Run Safe Mode

  None of them worked.  I was not able to uninstall Norton 360 because the user don't know the user name and password because his brother had added to the account and gave not details.

  What happens is that when you start Skype, Windows 7 offers widgets, then you get the title bar, minimize, maximize and close buttons, and the sidebar.  However, the screen remains white, and the mouse pointer flashes just.  Never, it opens and does not yet give the blue background of classic Skype with the 'busy' icon renewable.

  As I say, used to work on this material, if anyone has any ideas other than uninstalling Norton 360, which seems the last culprit?

  Thanks in advance.

• Acer Aspire 5100 Windows 8.1 problems (64-bit)

  Hello Acer users,.

  my mother has an Acer Aspire 5100 and is happy with it so far. I installed an SSD hard drive and Windows 64-bit from 8.1 to it (fresh). Now, she is very happy that the machine is very fast. Allthough there are new problems that accompanies the installation and I'm not happy with them. They are as follows (all drivers related questions I guess, no driver in Windows update or on Acer site):

  1 - memory card reader does not work and does not appear in the Explorer. Device manager shows 3 x peripheral problem which are the memory card reader. Which brand is?

  2 - WIFI does not work (says network adapter), have not yet tried to download and install the drivers from the website of Atheros, will try this next time I visit him. Poster 1 x peripheral problem device manager which I guess is the WIFI because the machine can access internet through wired adapter.

  3 - display is fixed (cannot be changed) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 and it can do better, but can not be changed. Downloaded and installed Catalys control center, but this has changed a lot and I do not see anywhere to change the resolution from there. Only several screens etc.

  4 - adapter displays in the Device Manager to 200M and it should be Ati Radeon Xpress 1100?

  But other than these problems, Windows 64-bit of 8.1 works great and especially with the SSD is very fast. And can recommend to you all =)

  Well, if you can help me on this issue. I guess that Acer can not make drivers before they get the manufacturers driver.
