My Acer Aspire 5585WXMi was infected by a trojan horse a while ago...
I managed to clear off the trojan horse, except now my computer has several problems:
1. All my CD-ROM Drive Drivers are corrupt
2. I can't access some system files to install applications
3. My C-Drive space decreases at a phenomenal rate
I used 2 X 2GB memory but on my BIOS it recon only 3.3 GB, but few days ago my laptop going nuts, my geforce 7300 go is falling.
after contacted my local acer service, and they examine my laptop, they found my mem card had no problem on it, and the upgrade my BIOS to clean up the mess but, my mem reduce from 3.3 to only 3 gb. it all at the bios mem check, not on OS. they said this laptop didn't support 4 GB memory, that's wierd, on this notebook spec it said up to 4 GB. not 3 GB.
so where the going wrong? since I already run this laptop with 4 GB ram and recon it as 3.3 gb and had no problem with it, for a long times, but after had problem with the geforce faling down it can't recon 3.3 gb after they fix it with upgrade the bios. I think the problem goes to the motherboard, if I goes to old bios the geforce is falling down, if I stay on this bios it's only recon 3 gb ram mem. they can't explain why this happen.
and the bottom line, you guys with acer laptop and using 4 GB ram memory should check at the bios, how much it recon, it as 4 GB or 3.3 GB.
since IMHO the OS never will be using 4 GB if the bios didn't recon it.
but there is some glicth if you look at the system information it recon 4 GB but, on bios it recon as 3 GB and the task manager recon it as 3 GB
I have an Acer Aspire 5585WXMi laptop, approx. 2 yrs old purchased in Singapore. It came with Intel's standard Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and I was wondering if there was any possibility of upgrading to the NVidia GPU? When I purchased the laptop I could have paid a little bit extra for the NVidia add-on but decided against (regretting now) so as far as I can tell it should be possible to add on the GPU module?

I downloaded the latest updates for Acer Arcade Deluxe a couple of days ago, using the Live Update feature within the program, and noticed today that McAfee has quarantined two files related to this program.
The files are both located in c:program filesacer arcade deluxeplaymovievideofilter. The first is BCMDFILTER.DLL, this is detected as Artemis!2309D0D4349A (Trojan) and the other is CLDABCD.DLL, detected as Artemis!202C3E6FA905 (Trojan).
Can anyone advise on these files please? Are they trojans or are they legitimate? I have forwarded the files to McAfee and have no idea whether to allow these files or not.
Alright, so I'm back to using OSX now after a long hiatus.
Have they come out with wild viruses that you can actually get infected with in OSX yet, or is there still no need for antivirus in OSX?
i'm frantic have been hit big time w/pop ups and red alerts saying my computer is infected.

It is not recongnizing the CD/DVD ROM so I can't use the Recovery Disc. It won't let me use a command prompt. If I could get it to let me do a clean sweep maybe I can run the software on it.

I get to the screen where I enter the serial number, hit the 'Next' button, and that's where they both freeze. Under Data Files nothing shows up as being installed either. Wondering if I'm overlooking something..
View 13 Replies View RelatedMy 2000-41OUS laptop started shutting down with a message from BIOS thermal overheating. It sounded like it was straining, running loudly. I've learned to check Programs and sure enough several were installed I did not download. I removed them and still shutting down. Finally Symantec found a trojan and cleaned it. Running so softly now I cannot hear it. I am worried that overheating may have damaged the thermal grease that protects it. Should I take it to a computer shop and what service should they do?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm planning on getting either both of these computers, Aspire AS5538-1096 or Aspire Timeline 5810-4784. Everything else is understandable except the part of the processor.
The Aspire as5538 comes with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core Processor L310 1.2GHz, 1 MB L2 cache. While the Aspire Timeline comes with an Intel Pentium Processor DU4199 1.3GHz, 2MB L2 cache. I mean, are intel making pentiums with dual core? Can it beat the Athlon 64 x2 1.2 dual core? Even if it costs more with the Aspire Timeline?
Here are links I found with some detailed information about these two products:

My main concern is, dual core, portability, and solid design. In better words, which is the best one?
Compaq Presario A931NR or Acer Aspire AS7720-6569?
Wondering which is the better choice? ...

View 10 Replies View RelatedSeeing as I pretty much made up my mind and want to buy a Acer Aspire 8930G, I hope somebody here can give me some specific advice. Maybe someone who owns one of the laptops (I hope there aren't any differences, depending on the country you live in)
I am looking at the Acer Aspire 8930G-644G32MN or the ACER Aspire 8930G-584G32BN. The first one is 300 Euro's cheaper than the last one. Besides that big difference I can't seem to find any. Did I miss some specific diffence, like do they both have Surround Sound and a BluRay drive and a full HD screen? Does any of the two support DVB-T? Do they both have a 9600 GT graphics card?
The reason why I ask is because I looked through, I don't know how many internetsites with specs and it's amazing how they all differ, obviously mainly copied and pasted from other internetsites. And I really want to get the right one and not regret my purchase after a while.
No thread about this nice netbook, it is even on the second place at Tests?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI got a problem with my Acer Aspire 5315. The HDD is shown in the bios but won't show in Vista most of the time. The HDD is completely formated, including the Acer partition. So recovery is not an option.
The problem is strange because it is not consistent. Sometimes I am able to acces the drive and install Vista. But then the next day,when i try to boot again, i only see a cursor after the Acer boot screen.
I've tried running in IDE mode. I also tried replacing the HDD with a new one. I installed vista with the correct Intel driver.
I also tried running Linux live cd. It also sees the HDD drive correctly but when i try to acces it, the program freeses.
I'm affraid something is wrong with the I/O controller, or it is a loose cable.
If you think otherwise, please let me know. If not, i'd like to know how I can check the HDD cable.
ive got a slight problem with my laptop. 2-3 months ago i added an addition gig of ram to my acer aspire 3050 for a total of 1.5gbs. it was the correct type of ram(i made sure it was the same as what was already in there). for some reason the computer will recognize that the ram has been placed in the slot but it does use it at all. when i am running programs will it will still draw what's needed from the hard drive even though peak usage rarely surpassed 700mb of ram. was there something i was supposed to activate/adjust after installing the ram?
and another disconcerting thing is that since i installed the ram the fan is on fullblast 100% of the time and the machine heats up almost to the point of overheating really fast even when doing basic things like surfing the web
I have an Acer 8935g running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit with 4GB of Ram. Would I be able to add any more memory than 4gb or is this the maximum? Also I have the Intel Q9000 and ATi 4670 1gb graphics card. Would I be able to upgrade these and if so what would you guys recoomend? Would the icore range work on my laptop?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased additional RAM to upgrade my Acer Aspire 5601. According to Acer website, crucial.com and other places I searched, my model can be upgraded to 4GB of RAM (2 per slot). Inserted the new RAM and booted up and it just hung at the splash screen. The RAM I purchased was PC2-6400 (DDR2-800) and I had understood that my system would still accept it and make the adjustment accordingly. I tried several different things:
- I removed one RAM chip and system boots up and Windows recognizes 2GB (tried the other chip too so I know both are working)
- Thinking the type of RAM was an issue I took 4GB of DDR2-533 from another laptop and tried with no luck.
My dvd/cd rom had been working fine and all of a sudden it disappeared...I tried the registy--nothing....I tried device manager--nothing...I tried BIOS---nothing!....I know that a bunch of people have had the same issue...I'm wondering if anyone has found a solution.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI wanted to upgrade my processor on my Aspire 5100 from the so so tl-50 to the RM-70. I am wondering if anyone else has tried this and if so, did you have any problems installing. from what I have researched, AMD is using the same bios for the the Turion processors and the RM-70 seems to be the one that uses the same wattage range, socket and power consumption.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 1501LMi laptop. I recently purchased 2gb ram for it (2x1gb sticks) through crucial UK, using their tool to help determine the ram that you need.
For some reason, I have been unable to use both sticks together though? It appeared to crash windows on boot up, and thinking there may be some sort of weird configuration with windows which is causing this, I have attempted to reinstall but have found it crashes during the install too. (I am running windows XP Pro with SP3). Strangely though, it DOES work fine if I use either of the 1gb sticks along with a 512mb stick of ram? Plus each Ram stick has been tested individually and found to be functioning correctly!
I have contacted Crucial about this, and they have also replaced both of the sticks of ram. Unfortunately, the same thing continues to happens?
My Acer bios version is 1.06. My Phoenix Bios version is "PhoenixBios 4.0 release 6.0", however, going onto Phoenix's website, the newest version is "PhoenixBios 4.0 release 6.1". Whilst on the Phoenix website, I noticed that they link to a website offering an update service called eSupport.com. I ran there tool, and it suggested i can get the newer PhoenixBios version for my laptop but you have to pay for it? Acers website only has my current version 1.06 of the acer 1500 bios.
Does anyone have any experience of this problem, or does anyone have any experience of running PhoenixBios 4.0 release 6.1 on an Aspire 1501LMi laptop?
I've got the acer aspire 6920G, and when i play world of warcraft my fps drops to 7 in 25man raids. I play with really low options.
I've always had low fps, i tried installing windows Xp, vista and now windows 7 and nothing helps.
Now i must say, win7 had the best result. My fps increased in major cities, but in raids it's still the same thing.
I defragged my HD, I use a 64bit to use my full ram, I run no background programs, all options are on low, and i still get 7fps.
The SSD drive would be big enough for my needs but I'm hearing they are real slow. My experience with other SS storage devices would seem to confirm this. Any experience out there with speed issues on these solid state hard drives?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe USB ports on my 8735G are messed. Everything with my system is fine until I plug something into the USB. After about 30 seconds, the whole computer freezes without any hope of recovery. Only a hard restart fixes it. This happens with mice, USB drives, UDB keys, anything. I tried disabling the power management on USB (selective suspend) and it doesn't help. I've googled the crap outta this and I've tried all the possible fixes and solutions and suggestions I've found. I know the ports or hub are not defective as they will transfer data in small amounts before freezing. However, it will freeze right away (before 30 seconds) if I attempt to transfer anything bigger than 300 MB.
