Acer :: Upgrade 5920G

Sep 28, 2008

the 8600M GT is getting a bit dated now and I'd like to upgrade it to something friendlier if possible. where would I look for an MXM II GPU that would work with the current cooling solution that the 5920G has? I know the same thermal specs are necessary cause it can't do better...and with just the 8600M GT, playing COD4 multiplayer gets it so hot I have to stop cause the keyboard is too hot to touch!

I've got 2x2GB SODIMM"s to drop in to it...easy access to a the new Penryn series CPU's...just want a better GPU. something NOT DDR2.

Acer :: 5920G GPU Upgrade

Feb 25, 2010

I recentely purchased a 9500M GS for my Acer 5920G to upgrade from my 8600M GS. Now I have read the sticky regarding what cards can go in the 5920G and the 9500M GS is listed as one of them. The problem I am having though is that when I plug the card in and boot my machine, I get no display.

Now, this is what I have tried. I have tried to get a backup of the BIOS on the 9500M GS so i can use Nibitor to identify what it is. I followed the VGA flashing guide to where it says about restoring the BIOS blind but my laptop doesnt seem to boot at all i.e. setting the first drive to USB Key does nothing as the light doesn't blink.

I have tried putting my system BIOS back from the latest version (3813) to previous ones (3811, 3805) and even the default one my laptop came with (3708). Again this was to no avail. My 9500M GS still wont boot.

So this leaves me to this conclusion. The cards BIOS must be from a different vendor, and I imagine it would be ASUS. Is there any possible way I could get this card working in my system.

Acer :: Want To Upgrade 5920G HD Recommendations

Jun 21, 2009

My 5920g (NO problems for TWO years!) deserves an upgraded hd.

What would you recommend? I currently have the WD 5400 RPM 160GB. 500GB is what I'd like.

Should I stick with WD? I'll sound like a noob saying this, but SATA2 ain't a problem for me?

Acer :: Parts Upgrade For 5920G

Feb 22, 2009

My laptop is a 1.5ghz C2D, 8600M GT DDR2 256mb (ARGH no ddr3), 160gb 5400RPM 8mb cache, with 2gb DDR2 667mhz...

yesterday, I got a 2GB Stick, (meaning I will have 3GB under Windows Vista 32-bit), and a 7200RPM 16mb cache harddrive (320gb fujitsu) to be exact.

I saw the processor upgrades, and I kept hearing it's fine for gaming unless I'm going to do heavy video editing, photoshopping do it, but do memory upgrade first, and I kept hearing HDD upgrade helps with everyday flow of operation (faster overall, meaning load up, booting, etc).

Will I see a decent performance/noticeable amount?

So now, it's 1.5GHZ C2D (T5250), 8600M GT DDR2 256MB, 320GB 7200RPM 16MB CACHE, HD-DVD/DVD-/+RW, 3GB DDR2 667MZ.

My next on the lsit is upgrade CPU to T7300, and if I can, upgrade the graphics card.

Maybe Bluetooth add-on since my phone can support syncing with that junk.

So yea, T7300, and maybe Radeon 3650 ddr3 or 8600 ddr3

Acer :: 5920G MXM II Graphics Upgrade

Oct 13, 2008

I am kind of frustrated with the DDR2 Performance that this machine pulls.

I might upgrade my Laptop to 3GB DDR2 RAM, and a different MXM Graphics card. (Type II)

Where can I get an MXM II card that will work on my laptop? I heard you need to flash, but I hear some models you don't and I have to take in the thermal into account.

I am looking to play Call of Duty 4, and so on.

is the X1900 compatible? I would rather get 8600M GT DDR3, but that might be too expensive.

Acer :: Aspire 5920G, Can Not Upgrade Bios

Jan 21, 2010

I have a problem with the bios upgrade on my Aspire 5920G.

I have downloaded from Acer's site the 3813 version and i try to use it with winphlash, the program that is in the folder when i unzip.

I have always an error message, the one in the printscreen.

Yes, i have opened the program with administrator privileges, the same message pops out.
I think that the problem is that i have Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Acer :: Aspire 5920G Upgrade To Windows 7

Oct 24, 2009

I have an Acer Aspire 5920G running Vista Home Premium that it came with preinstalled.

Now I'm itching to make the switch to Windows 7, but apparently the 5920G isn't on Acer's list of compatible computers, which has me a bit apprehensive... However, I've run the upgrade advisor and it gave me just a few minor concerns, which leads me to my question:

If I upgrade to Windows 7, will my recovery partition still be intact, enabling me to revert back to the factory defaults with Windows Vista if need be?

Acer :: Best Bang/buck Upgrade To Boost A 5920G

Mar 30, 2010

I already upped the RAM to 3GB but it doens't seem to do all THAT much.

The computer feels rather sluggish under Vista. I've taken down A LOT of software, services etc... but to no avail. That and it's pretty established that Vista's just not great.

I have the version with the 8600GT GPU, stock 2GB RAM (now 3) and the T7300 Core2Duo CPU.

I'm looking to get rid of the some of the lag, get a smoother system... I may need more power and therefore to upgrade the CPU but that may be expensive... :/?

Acer :: Upgrade 5920G With Creative X-FI Mini PCIe Module

Jul 16, 2009

Just found this and was wondering if it can be used in a regular minipcie slot. With every connector of course.

Or something like letting the X-FI chip doing all the work , processing etc. and lead the output through existing onboard audio.

[url]

There is a REAL X-Fi chip on board not those lower end ones used in usb and pcmcia solutions.

Acer :: AS 5520G 8600M GS To 9600M GT

Jan 15, 2009

I have an Acer Aspire 5520G. I found a great deal on a brand new 9600M GT card. Both are MXM2. Question is: can I upgrade ?

I`m saying this because I have 2 VGA outs ( DVI + DSUB ), and I wonder if they both will work if I upgrade. Plus I want to be sure they are compatible.

Acer :: 6920g. 9500m To 9600m Gt Swap

Dec 28, 2008

I managed to snag a minor graphics card upgrade for my laptop and installed it. I changed up my 9500m to a 9600m gt. Everything seems to be going great, just needed an HDTV to get it going For some reason it would only initially post video through the HDMI.

Anyway, my issue is, while the machine runs great in windows I can't for the life of me get it to display anything before that. Which includes the BIOS boot screen, the BIOS itself, the Boot Menu or even my Windows XP disc.

Like I said, games run great, windows runs great.

Acer :: 5930G: Need To Refresh My 9600M GT, Not Kept Any Back Up Files

Dec 11, 2009

I have got a Acer 5930G John Lewis model. I flashed my Nvidia 9600M GT 512mb to overclock it. Everything was ok initially and I was able to play most games maxxed out.

After about 9 months things started going wrong. Initially the laptop would only crash when playing a heavy game such as FEAR or crysis for a long period of time. Then as time went on, the laptop become less tolerant to any GPU processing and now crashes even crashes when playing Quake Live or CS 1.6.

Migrating to Win 7 temporarily fixed the problem, but then things quicky went wrong again.

Before making any modifications, I had backed up all my files on a USB drive as I had no optical media at the time, unfortunately, the drive was placed into a mac by a friend by accident and subsequently formatted. OOPS.

So, I have lost all my original NVflash files and Im stuck with a 9600M that can't take it anymore. Is there anyway I can reclock the timings on the Gfx card or am I screwed?

Acer :: Horizontal Wave-like Distortions (5930G/9600M GT)

Dec 18, 2008

recently bought an acer aspire 5930 with an Nvidia geforce 9600M gt,3GB RAM,and an intel core 2 duo @ 2.00 Ghz.

When I play games I often notice annoying small horizontal wave-like distortions even at the intro videos of some games(Pro Evolution Soccer 09 for example).

I read that it might have been V-sync that cause these horizontal distortions, however turning it off doesn't help at all.

Vertical movement in the scenery seems to cause these wave like effects to occur and I really don't know what do to, I've tried mostly everthing.

I am using Dox's 180.7 drivers, forcing V-sync off etc.

I have the 9600m GT out of a 8930g installed in my Aspire 5720 laptop but every nvidia driver that I try to install says that the hardware is not compatible with the driver or some crap.

Am I out of luck with this card or is there a way to force install a driver...or is there a better driver to install?

I've tried the latest 197.16, 186.03 drivers from nvidia. Even from laptopvideo2go...no dice.

Acer :: 5920G LCD Won't Come On After A While

Feb 7, 2008

My 5920G which I got for Christmas is giving me some problems.

I have gone to power options and and changed the settings so when I close the lid, nothing must happen. But when I come back in about 20 minutes after leaving the lid closed, there is no way of me getting the LCD to start up. The only way I can get past this is by pressing the power button in for a few seconds forcing it to shut down. Obviously this is bad for my notebook. How do I get this sorted out? The same thing happens if I leave the lid open and come back in a while.

Acer :: Applying MX-2 On The 5920g

Mar 3, 2009

well i have decided to replace the stock thermal paste on my 5920g, however, i was suprised to see that acer used therma pads intead of thermal paste

im even more suprised to see that there are thermal pads all over my gpu and cpu

heres a rough picture of how it looks like

silver color denotes where thermal pads where installed

the weird thing is that the copper plate of the heat sink only touches the parts of the picture with the orange circle

should i put AC MX-2 on the areas where i found thermal pads or just on the areas where the copper plates of the heat sink touches the core

Acer :: My 5920G Won't Charge

Apr 6, 2009

Acer 5920G won't charge. When I plug in the charger the light that normally comes on to indicate that it is charging does not light up and in windows the icon that indicates that it is charging does not come up either.

My PC is the Acer 5920G best buy configuration, about two years old and no components are overclocked.

I was using it when this happened, I just noticed that the light went off and then it wouldn't charge when I plugged in the charger. As far as I know all the other components work correctly though it does have poor battery life. I was downloading a large file so I had it running for about six hours straight if that makes any difference.

I've checked the charger itself and nothing came loose. The green light on the charger also lights up when I plug it in so it is probably not the outlet that is the problem plus I've tried it in multiple outlets.

I'm pretty sure its either the battery or the charger, but I would like to know for sure and get advice from anyone else who may have had this problem.

Acer :: 5920G Could Not Even Boot

Dec 8, 2009

Past few days I got my 8600M GT 256MB DDR2 GPU overheated and it is broken now. Sigh!! The system was still bootable and I did even hear the login sound not until today when I just unplugged the HDD and GPU myself. When I put them back together, I won't boot as usual. It stops loading a while after I turned it on and stays freeze until I shut it off.

FYI, I removed the HDD to copy a backup of my content into another PC. While connecting to other PC, I did change some setting on the Ownership of some folder to get it accessible. As for the GPU, I just simply removed it to take a look myself and snap some photo of it, then inserted it back as before.

So, I wonder will these techies stuff I did awhile back could corrupted the bios that would make the system halted halfway.

Additional information that I would like to share is that I have decided to replace my GPU with ATi Mobility Radeon HD3650 512MB DDR2 instead of the original and did learn the method to do so. Read on some info regarding flashing the GPU, but was not sure bout it.

Acer :: My 5920G Is Dead

Oct 18, 2008

I tried installing Service Pack 1 and it won't boot. Microsoft has just sent me a Vista Home Premium Repair CD that will hopefully fix it. I have Recovery Discs, but then I'll lose all my data. This is the 2nd time that my 5920G has broke like this, is there a huge design flaw with this laptop?

Is Acer always like this? It was such a high end laptop for its price (8600M GT, Core 2 Duo 1.5 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, HDMI, HD-DVD, for $1099), but I can never trust this company again.

Acer :: 5920g Hinge

Feb 15, 2009

I have a 5920g computer which I adore, sadly we always hurt the ones we love, I dropped it and broke the right hinge, because of that the plastic frame of the monitor ripped 2. It still works perfectly fine, but its annoying as hell to watch my lappy like this all the time. I called acer, and found a provider who can repair it for 400 dlrs (I payed 1000 dlrs for the lap) so well, its seem outrageous to me paying 40% of the total price for a hinge replace.

Anyway, I found the hinge and the other parts on Ebay singapore, for less tan 100 dlrs. So, heres my question, does anyone know how hard is it to replace this parts, I am a mildy medium kinda handy guy, with some hardware skills. So anyone know if this is hard, is there a guide around that can show me the process, or should I just pay the 400 dlrs and get this thing done.

Acer :: 5920G Ram Vents

Dec 5, 2008

Ive taken the back cover off my 5920 many times and really never took a look at it until now. What i noticed is that the vents for the ram are covered by a glossy black see through tape rather than mesh, which covers all the other vents.

Ive linked a picture below: add http into brackets

Has anyone else noticed that in their laptop? or is mine the only one where they ran out of mesh and decided tape was just as good. I wanna just rip it off.

Another thing, has anyone been able to overclock their 5920?(mines got a T8100) ive been searching for days and cant find anyone who has. I always have my backcover off and have my laptop resting on a custom dual 120mm fan notebook cooler. My idle temps are from 37-42, load is just over 60. I wanna push this thing just a bit more.
