• Acer aspire s7-392-9439: lack of default boot device or startup failed.

  Hello
  I bought an Acer aspire s7-392-9439 3 months ago. It has been working fine, until yesterday.
  I turn on the computer and it poped a blue screen with the error: 'lack of default boot device or startup failed'.
  This error reminded me that a message on a bios updated poped over a few days and I have the chance to install it.

  I contacted acer support, I was told that the update of the bios would have avoided this problem. Also, they told me to try things that can help, but unfortunately none of them has:
  1 restore the default bios settings.
  2. change the bios settings: uefi to legacy.
  3 type the Windows key + c when the computer starts.

  When these options do not have they said it is probably a hardware problem and I should send my computer to their repair center.
  My questions are:
  1. If they updated bios would have prevented the problem, how can it be a hardware problem?
  2 - does anyone know how to solve the problem?

  I would appreciate your help,
  Michael

  I had the same problem.  Tried the diskette of starting BACK and did not work.

  Here's how I solved it:

  (apologies to memory are some terms is not on-site)

  1. download the Setup file of the BIOS - link provided above in this thread (isST2212.exe)

  2. on a Windows 8 machine that works - search for 'Create a recovery disk' and run on a USB drive

  3. copy the file #1 to the USB drive once it's done make a recovery disk

  4. in the Acer BIOS (press F2 during startup), change to the method of priming of the legacy

  5 save and exit

  6. turn in the BIOS and move the option USB HDD as first boot device

  7. Save and exit

  8. you will end up in a Windows 8 recovery console

  9. go to Advanced Options - find the option that leads you to the command prompt

  10. from there I went to d: drive and found my file isST2212.exe - run by typing the file name when you are in the folder

  Make sure that you are connected to power - let it run.  It should install, automatic restart and you should be in business.

  I had an Acer offer to fix it for free with a 7-10 day turn around and at the risk of losing all my data.  It's a much better solution!

• I have an Acer switch 11... Showing no boot device

  All of a sudden while working on my switch 11, he said that he had to stop. Now, I get the message "no boot device" when I try to start. I could put in a USB key which was a recovery disk. . It allows me to go into the Bios. When I try to choose "refresh your PC it says the drive where Windows is installed is locked." When I go into bios and select the information tab, the name of the model of SDS said nothing and there is no serial number. Does this mean that my SSD drive is fried? Is there anything I can try to get a reaction?

  It is still under warranty? You can contact Mrs. They will tell you contact Acer.If it is not under warranty,.

  If it's only the SSD, it is fairly simple to repair if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. I can help you with that.

• Screen flickering on nine Acer Predator G9-791

  I just bought a brand new Acer Predator G9-791.

  I installed the default mode, that is, he did it himself. It has 10 Windows Home. I upgraded to Pro.

  I added some software, I have need of development, Visual Studio and SQL Server.

  Most early I noticed that the screen goes black and then comes back very quickly, apparently at random times. The "blink" lasts only a fraction of a second--as if the GPU resets something.

  The problem happens as quickly after the other, making it difficult to use the laptop. Sometimes a whole day passes with nothing happening.

  I noticed that when it happens, by moving the mouse over an object that reacts overview by painting a small area seems to curb the problem.

  I'm having a problem of material here? I buy a faulty laptop?

  It was almost the most expensive out there, so I would like it to work.

  You can try to install this driver on the Acer support site?

• Acer Predator 17 SSD G9-792-75ZT error

  Hi everyone I recently bought an acer predator 17 in one of the local stores from the Philippines last October 5, 2016. Overall, the quality is excellent and it works what is said. I have some of my favorite and need games apps installed in the computer, but after that, the system keeps on crashing. I tried to restore from the previous version until it becomes completely unaccesible.

  I tried to run the reset in the system recovery but the samsung mzvpv256hdgl-00000 256 gb SSD was locked. I tried to remove the volume completely and reinstall the partition. He worked a few times, but it's really unacessible even after that. I tried to copy some files, reinstall windows, but it says incorrect function. I can't open the disc itself, because of the warranty.

  I also noticed that after anything in the ssd, it will disappear causing my laptop to slow down. the news of controller and lun was also is not found even in the "diskpart" command What do you think is the cause and the solution to this?

  Symptoms:

  1. the material can be recognized in the bios (inconsistent).

  2 do you have a reformat using the administrative tools

  3 reset the bios AHCI, RAID and LEGACY UEFI

  4. the path of the controller is not located (value 0)

  5. currently installed windows hard disk

  6. After reformatting or copy a file, the hard drive no longer not recognized except restart.

  7. I just installed vlc, DBMS, sibelius, steam and dota 2 once it crashed.

  8. currently, SSD is completely reformatted but still can not 'normally' access'

  9 used dedicated nvme samsung for SM951 driver, but still the same thing

  I currently work as sailor so coming back to the manufacturer is not easy. Is it possible that they can change the right ssd if the found it defective? I mean in this day there also because given the nature of my work. We do not stay in a country long.

  Thanks for all those who who' the response. Good day.

  This is a strange behavior.

  I suggest that you contact Acer Center support in your area from your laptop of predator is under warranty as you said that you just bought. You must contact them to find out how long it would take to repair or where bring or send the laptop.

• Acer Predator G9-792-77 K 4 issue

  Hello!

  I really need help guys (I would like a response from acer)

  I'm having some problems with Acer Predator G9-792-77 K 4

  In Windows 10 when I press the icon for notifications and try to activate Tablet he mode or bluetooth and I move my mouse to this button... .can be seen a mouse lag... I tried to watch a youtube video, and while I watch, to press them... and video accuses even.

  I know it's not important, but this mouse lag which makes some of my games freeze randomly.

  I sent the laptop to Acer serving, but they have not found something... they just changed to SSD, but that has not solved the problem.

  As if I disable Intel HD 530 or Nvidia gtx 970 m from the Device Manager, I saw this thing does not happen.

  So I tried to find the other drivers but was useless.

  So... is a hardware, drivers or Windows 10 problem?

  Sorry for the bad English.

  Thank you!

  I think at this point, it is best to contact Acer customer service again.

  If you want to try one last thing, Device Manager, uninstall the Intel HD530 device and choose to uninstall the software too, reboot and let windows to re - install the driver.

• Acer Predator G3-710 GTX 1070 overheating

  Hey guys

  So I have an acer Predator G3-710

  • Intel Core i5-6400
  • 8 GB RAM
  • GTX 1070

  But it keeps overheating when im playing games on ultra high heat. And since there were "IceTunnel thermal system" theres no fans in the enclosure.

  A fan will simply solve this problem? The poor obvisoly can't get enough air. So her dosent system thermal iceTunnel seem to work now

  If the case has a place to install a fan, you can buy a fan that uses a molex connector for power.  But it will be always on except if you buy one with an on/off switch.  Temp could lower a bit.

  Try to use the Geforce experience to optimize your game settings.

• Nine Acer Predator G3-605 starts windows 8

  Hello.
  I got my Acer Predator G3 605 last week, but the system was slow.
  So I decided to put my SSD OCZ Agility 120 GB 2 expansion slot and instal windows drive there.
  As a first step, it starts up fine and work fast. I installed all the updates and soft, reboot several times and no problems.
  After I put everything I have delete the windows HARD disk partition. Then system stop when windows starts.

  So far, I tried this:
  1. several resettlement on the SSD and HDD image or clean install.
  2. all the BIOS for SECURE BOOT settings (on/stop/standard/custom/key on / key removed) and CSM.
  3. I connect only SSD or HDD only and do recover or new installation.
  4 delete all partitions and recover / clean installation.
  5. update of the BIOS/SSD firmware
  6 recovery discs acer does not help. Even that resetting the BIOS.

  Nothing helps. He works until the 'Configuration' window material and after the reboot that it stuck.
  No idea what can be wrong and how to fix it?
  I do not know more
  Thanks for any help.

  I finally found a solution by myself, so I'll post my solution here in case someone will have the same problem.
  It works for me, can't promise it will work for everyone.

  My step by step solution:
  1. I created WindowsToGo on my USB with this statement:
  http://www.TomsHardware.co.UK/FAQ/ID-1867613/create-Windows-drive-Windows-enterprise.html
  2. from Acer Support I have download all the latest drivers for my Acer Predator G3 605 and extract everything to a special folder on my USB key
  3. I disconnect my HDD SATA cable drive (there is still no connected SSD)
  4. in the bios I have disable startup secure, activate the start menu and CSM always turn on
  5. After restart I press F12 and the start menu, I selected my USB with WinToGo
  6. once my Windows go hardware and post installation preparation I finally see the start menu.
  7. the first thing to do was connect my HDD SATA cable so windows automatically detects the drive
  8. I open prompt by admin, type diskpart, and then list disk, my HARD drive has disk 0 so I type select disk 0, then clean type
  9. I have installed all the drivers for my Acer and restart
  10 after restarting, I go to my pre downloaded BIOS updated and open the app updated
  11 choose ROM file, choose update all (not only part of pre selected), then click FLASH
  12 reboot, unplug my USB and put it in my installation USB Windows 8 key (DVD can also be used)
  13. from Windows install go to advance the installation and choose the HARD drive (in this point installation program said that cannot be installed on this drive as bios don't have drivers, but I could still create partition, so I did two create and click Next)
  14. After all server files have been copied computer auto restart
  15 Windows 8 shows the information for the preparation of the devices (it was the last part of work for me before, cuz after computer restart blocked)
  16. after restarting Windows boot and go to the Customization screen. Everything works.

  I have to keep secure boot off and CSM on yet.

• Acer Predator G3-710

  Acer Predator G-710 I9820

  Where can I find the documentation on the ports and connectors on the back? (Manual UM_1.0_En.pdf is not detailed enough)

  Starting on the top (back side)

  -Port HMDI, but covered with a plastic?

  -Port DP with removable plastic (ok)

  -several USB ports and audio (ok)

  -Geforce GTX960: 1 white DVI port, marked 1 (DVI-I dual link?), HMDI port and 1 DP

  -geforce GTX960 below: 1 black port marked 2 (DVI - D dual link?)

  Rgds

  Hi ddh43,

  You probably just ask a specific question to be better results from the community.

  The first ports are usually covered because everyone understands that the video card should be used and they will plug the video ports of motherboard and have less experience.

  The GTX960 takes two slots, so you should have 2 DVI, 1DP, 1HDMI in this configuration.

• Gel with my Acer predator g3-605

  Hello

  First of all, I would say I'm sorry for my bad English because it is not my mother tongue.

  So here's my problem: since I bought my acer predator g3-605 I gel on it when I play games.

  I searched and found that I am not the only one having these gel but none of the solutions helped me.

  I tried a lot of solutions such as:

  • Update the drivers via Geforce experience
  • Uninstall/reinstall applications/games that freeze
  • Move the games/applications on the disk HARD or, on the contrary, to the SSD.
  • Factory (!) "restart" at the beginning

  I found a similar post of my friends on this forum, but the only solution for him was to send his pc to replace it with another computer, and I'd found a solution without changing my PC.

  With our thanks,

  I think your motherboard is faulty. I suggest you contact your Acer support.

  Sorry I can't help you more.
