What is going on with this acer software? Used to be able to watch blurays on something called acermedia. Did an upgrade to something with a rediculous name - BYOC, and now the abmedia solution doesn't allow viewing of discs. Is this correct, or has something gone wrong with update?

I'm a Mac & Windows user and love both environments. Yet, I'm unsure if the MacBook will work for me.
Does anyone have any issues watching DVDs? I have a few DVDs I made from a Panasonic DVD/VCR (transferred from a VHS to DVD) and it will randomly say skipping over damaged area while playing on my MB using the standard DVD Player software. The same burned DVDs work fine on Panasonic and my roomates DVD player. Would it be better if I tried using VLC or some other program?

I have only had my acer aspire v3 771g 6814 for about 18 months. recently it has been shutting down afer 5 minutes. I took it to a technician and he said it's not a fan problem because the processor isn't over heating. so is there a way to fix this? I can't send it back because the warranty has expired ....
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire V3-771G which I got in 2013. I've had no battery problems before. Earlier this month I noticed that the orange charging light remained on longer than usual. I turned my computer on and noticed that it said that the battery was 98% charged and charging.I have not done the procedure of discharging and recharging the battery three times as mentioned in the manual.
I have not removed the battery since I first installed it (it came with the computer). I don't normally use the laptop on battery power unless it happens to be on during a power outage.I would like to know if I need a new battery or not, as I am concerned as to if the laptop will be continuously trying to fully charge the battery thus wearing it out prematurely.The computer came with Windows 8. I have installed Windows 8.1.
When powering up I get the Acer screen for about 10 sec and then black screen. Immediately before this there was a Windows update for the graphics card, if I remember correctly. I have tried hard power down 3 times but on the 4th time I do not get the message "preparing for automatic repair". I am unable to get into Safe Mode.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI bought the Acer Aspire v3-771G. I've had no problems with it, but lately it shuts down randomly without any warning, like a power cut. I've checked the CPU Temps and overheating is not the problem. The computer sits on a Targus cooling pad and it doesn't get that hot around the fans. The problem occur when the pc is running games or processes (computer scans) that require more memory than when I'm just surfing. The problem happens all from 15 mins to 2 hours into a game or so (depends on how much memory that's used). I've been doing some research myself and it seems like a graphic problem.
The computer always fits the minimum requirements for games I play and I play on rather low graphics on every game (to delay the shutdown).
The second problem is whenever I'm streaming or watching a movie the screen randomly turns into a "snow storm". Tried to move the screen up and down thinking it was something wrong with the cable from the hardware to screen but it didn't react to that. What has made this to happen due to the careful handling of the computer. But the only thing that comes to mind is something wrong with that cable... This problem happens randomly and started last week.
I've done some basic problem solving, with no success. I've tried restoring the computer to facotry setup, updating the bios and all the relevant drivers.
I've been looking for a hardware diagnostic program on the computer itself (like other good brands have) with no luck, even looked on the web. But nothing I've tried seems to find the problem.
The specs for the computer:
Acer Aspire v3-771G
Windows 8.1 (Came with Windows 8.0)
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3110M CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40
8.00 GB (RAM)
64-bit operating system
Nvidia GeForce GT 630M
I just bought an ACER E5-771G-54N6 and after 2 days my touchpad just stop working (Win 8.1 , 64-bit). This is obviously a software (driver) issue, and after researching and finding out that a Windows reisntall is the only solution, I find that hard to believe that this can't be fixed through a patch. These type of problems shouldn't be occurring on brand new laptops.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've made a backup when I bought the notebook Aspire V3-771G. After that, I've installed Win 7 with my own serial key. All partitions I deleted. Right now I want to recover system to factory default but I haven't recovery disk nor recovery partition. I've got only backup five files ended with .NFB extensión and one with .CAL extensión. I've tested ghost programs and backup software but none of them could read backup files. Is there any solution for this without buying the recovery disks ?

View 4 Replies View RelatedYesterday before I went to eat lunch I turned on my laptpp and signed in. When I came back it had a blue screen with a kmode exception not handled error. After waiting an hour the getting data portion was stuck on 0 still so I forced turned it on. After that the moniter wouldn't turn on even though the laptop was on, I heard the turn on noise and could hear the fan running when I listened. I tried taking the battery out and holding the button for 30 seconds and putting it back in and after a few times it managed to turn on with the screen. But it froze at the start up logo and after another hour I turned it off and havnt been able to get the screen back on again. Is there anything else I could do?

View 5 Replies View RelatedJust bought my 5920G laptop from Dixons - looks great BUT - I cannot write to any DVD media. I can write to CD and I can read DVDs no problem.
Windows media player suggests I get compatible DVD media for the drive speed - I have used 3 types - all up to 16x.
What speed should they be and what media is recommended?
I want to create some backup image DVDs as the PC comes with nothing!
I purchased a 6920-6508 for my mother so she has a PC to get email, surf the web, do some web video calls with the grand kids and keep pictures on, etc. So this laptop came with 4gb of ram, a DVD RW+- and Vista 64 on it but I can't burn DVDs. It can burn CDs with no problems but I get no joy when trying to burn a DVD (I am using TDK DVD+R 1-16x 4.7GB media). It can read DVD just fine, and I took one of the DVD+R disks that I was trying to write on, over to my 4 year old PC with a DVD burner in it and I was able to burn a disk just fine and the 6920 could read the disk I just burned with no problems.
Now if laptop came with a set of recovery DVDs I wouldn't be so frustrated, I just can't see my mother burning DVDs anytime soon, but I would like to burn a set of recovery disks so if she ends up trashing the system I can help her through a recovery process.
I have it all set up for her, and I want to mail it off to her, but I dread sending it to her with out the recovery disks. I am wondering if there is just some kind of driver problem for the DVD burner not being quite 64bit ready and maybe it that can be upgraded to a working driver, or maybe there is some kind of work around, but I just don't know.
Does your DVD burner work in your 6920-6508? According to the DVD player is a Slimtype DVD A DS8A1P ATA Device and the driver version is 6.0.6001.18000.
managed to overwrite the PQService on my Acer Aspire E380. Acer very promptly sent me recovery DVDs for my model, one System DVD and one Recovery DVD. Some of what I've read here confuses me a bit, however, and makes me afraid to use these discs if I should ever need to.
To sum up my question as succinctly as I can: if PQService has been deleted/overwritten, will system/recovery DVDs issued by Acer itself (sent from the company) still function, or will they do me no good? I'm asking you guys because, frankly, my experiences with Acer's support have been less than stellar.
im planning on buying windows 7 ..
I am a proud owner of acer 7520G ,and my lappy started acting slowly after 1 year of horrible terror or windows vista...
I made those recovery cds , also i got that 10gb partition PQSERVICE...
This service works only when you got their vista+acer signed OS?
IF i install windows 7 will i be able to recover old vista via hidden partition or recovery dvds?
Will i be able to make recovery dvds and recovery partition on win 7 with acer tools?
I'm trying to watch a video that's 1080p and it skips frames. My framerate will stay around 30ish but then every couple of minutes or so will dip down to 7.

View 6 Replies View Relatedi have an HDX16t w/ bluray drive and i would usually watch blurays thru it. i would connect the laptop to my 42" 1080p LCD and watch. the first few times i did this, everything was fine. the sound and picture were going thru w/ no problems. i also just use the HP Media Center player when i watch so i can use the remote (which actually doesnt work great...not all the buttons work...but that's another story...)
now the other night, i went to put in another bluray and watch it using the HP Media Center but as it loaded the disc, i get a message saying that i "cannot play the movie in the current resolution". i was thinking this might be an HDCP issue but how can that be if it worked before? so i put in a bluray i had previously watched w/ this method and the same message popped up. i tried rebooting the laptop and also unplugging the TV to maybe "reset" the HDMI port. still got the same message when trying to play.
It doesn't look too great!
