Acer Aspire v3-111P-C9Z3 SSD Upgrade issues

Hello I bought an Acer Aspire v3-111P-C9Z3 last summer and this summer bought an SSD to upgrade it with. I plugged the SSD in through my external USB dock, cloned the OS and tried running it. The seemingly simple operation ended when I got a "No Bootable Device" message from the Acer Bios. Running on legacy mode nets me a similar error.  I used EaseUS to clone the OSI bought a 120g PNY SSDCLoned win10 the BIOS seems to recognize that the SSD is there (In the BIOS load order in the f2 screen it says something like " HDDSD-XXXXXXXXXXX" but it doesn't boot up the OS from the SSD the way that would be expected after being cloned.  I appreciate anyone's help. I'm pretty computer-literate and have been looking around but have not found anything to fix this yet.  Thanks

you can try to repair the cloned OS with a windows bootable media, boot from it and choose repair my computer then troubleshot and check if automatic repair/startup repair is able to fix it.  Honestly, i would prefer to make a fresh install switching from HDD to SSD, since Windows makes some tweaks when installing on SSD (Trim, garbage collector, alignement)

  • Acer Aspire V7-582PG very slow after upgrade to Windows 10 - ExpressCache not working

    Upgrade my Acer Aspire V7-582PG to Windows 10. Startup and main windows events are very slow. The caching SSD is not used at all. I checked and I noticed that the ExpressCache software is removed during the upgrade to Windows 10. The folder "C:\Program Files\Condusiv Technologies\" is empty and the background service is gone. Tried to reïnstall an old version of the ExpressCache software (1.0.94), but Windows 10 is actively blocking this software and won't let me install this. Anyone have this working? Or contacted Acer Support about this problem? 

    Hi IronFly Thanks for your assistance, sadly this is one of the earlier solutions I have tried, however - still not working. ExpressCache does install with this particular installer - however, running 'ECCmd.exe -info' in admin command prompt gives me a result:  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240]

    **ERROR** ECCmd exited with error 0x1 (1)  Really starting to struggle with this now. As I see it I need the following programmes installed to go ahead: IRST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology)ExpressCacheIntel Rapid Start Technology It seems Acer have dropped the ball on this one, with other manufactures already aware of the issue, and providing solutions. Acer do not seem to be aware, I have submitted a support ticket here in the UK, and I am really hoping I have missed something and they have a fix or workaround already. This is quite poor on Acer's part - I have always enjoyed their products, and been loyal to Acer, however this is starting to make me question whether they are just a tech vendor rather than LTS provider too!

  • Acer Aspire 7750g driver issue.

    Hello everyone,
    I own an Acer Aspire 7750g-2636G75Mnkk
    Recently i updated to Windows 10 but i found out that my AMD Radeon 6650M is not supported, so i switched back to windows 7 with the Back up disc i made with the factory settings.
    So i tried to update everything, i used the AMD auto detect tool and it did install to the newest 15.7 driver. After the restart i got horizontal black lines flickering over my screen so i uninstalled it and went back to the factory driver.
    Went to the acer site for driver download and i saw there was a "newer" version available. (8.901.4.0).
    So i uninstalled the factory one(8.822.0.0) and installed this one. But the installer said when it was done that there were some problems. I checked the log but everything was succesfully installed.
    After the restart everything went good until after the login screen. Screen was black with green, i could barely see anything.
    Tried to plug HDMI cable into my TV.
    Tv screen is normal but laptop screen is still black and green.
    So i uninstalled that one again and went back with the factory one. (8.822.0.0)
    I am now running into compatibility issues, i can start a program but it closes right after. I can only start it when i put Windows 7 manually in the compatibility mode.
    Even some games say my drivers are outdated.
    When i do 64bit DxDiag, it says program stopped working. Started it again and it said it had problems accessing the Direct3D. If i don't skip this step, it stops working. But if i do skip it, it runs but when i check the Screen tab, there is nothing. Not even a driver detected.
    I can't even open Catalyst Control Center because it says program stopped working and has been shutdown.
    I have updated my BIOS to the latest version Acer gave me V1.21
    Oh, and i also downloaded all the updates from Windows Update.
    I tried different kind of Catalyst Control Center Suites(mostly the same as the newest driver 15.7, horizontal black lines flickering over the whole screen)
    So now im stuck.
    Someone got an idea on how to fix this?
     

    Hello Guys, Even I had a similar problem. I was planning to take it to service center. But just wanted to try once more so searched in the community and got this thread.My situation is I changed my RAM 2 months ago from 3GB to 8GB on my 5830TG. It was working fine till last couple of weeks until I made one change in BIOS setting and then I tried rebooting then I don't get any screen. my Hardisk looks like it was running. I never got to BIOS screen at all. I got scared & din't know what to do. After reading this post I replaced my new ram with the old once which I had it with me. My laptop booted properly. Then I removed the old ones & added both the new RAM's then the laptop did not boot. Suspecting that one of the RAM must have gone non functional I tried one by one. Both worked fine. Finally I had to insert the RAM properly. Insert it little hard so that it sat fine in the slot. I also reset my BIOS just in case. Great post guys, it helped my try once. You don't know how much time and money I saved :-) Thanks a ton.

  • Acer aspire ES1-111 issues

    Hi all,I decided to register in this community in order to get some advice and opinion about issues I'm experiencing with this laptop. I'm an owner of an Acer Aspire ES1-111 which I bought a week ago. Since its first configuration I noticed problems using it with windows 8.1 (its native OS). For example touchpad or keyboard not working properly and, most of all, shutdown problems. In this particular case I was never able to shutdown properly the device, because it either freezed or remained with the power indicator that continued being "on" although it seemed that the system was shutdown. However, in order to really shutdown I had to press power button. Firstly I decided to reset the system with the integrated software eRecovery but problems remained. Secondly I decided to do a clean install of the operating system and I tried both Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. In both cases, installation process finished without problems but when trying installing all drivers I experienced freezes and again shutdown problems. I followed an order to install drivers (Chipset first, than VGA etc), but in most of cases I had the aformentioned issues. I also tried disabling "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" to no avail.  But now comes the strange part... I finally decided to give a try to Windows 7 and, to my surprise, everything is working fine! I was able to install drivers properly and to shutdown or restart my notebook without problems. Now I'm using it with Windows 7, but, as it is in warranty, I would like to ask you what do you think about this issues.  I find quite strange that a notebook isn't working properly with its native OS but it's fine with an old OS!! Do you think I should send it to Acer assistance or ask to change it (although, I don't know if I'm still able to pursue this second option). Thanks for your attention! Mic  

    Bios was set to UEFI when I bought the notebook. System was very slow on its first configuration, probably due to all the third part softwares installed. Also the hdd was not partitioned, something I didn't like. So, after a reset with Acer eRecovery software that didn't solved the slowness of the system, I decided for a clean install with a Windows 8.1 bootable usb stick I had. And, in order to select the boot order desired, I had to change bios mode from UEFI to LEGACY. But, I think that this step was not the best option for a notebook that has a native UEFI bios, as my struggles showed. So, after some research, I decided to reset bios to UEFI, create a usb bootable stick that was compatible with UEFI (through RUFUS software) and run again installation process of Windows 8.1. And this time, all steps were done automatically and without problems. System is far more usable now. Yes, I lost the eRecovery partition, but I can alwasys use the one that the new installation has created. 

  • Swapping SSD on acer aspire m3 581ptg

    Hi , my model is acer aspire m3 581ptg  and my question is very,very simple....  If I wanna change my current 20gb ssd  for another one (128gb) , 1) After change it, should I do something? (I still have my hdd 500gb "as it comes from factory,partition and recovery stuff)  2) This change, will make any difference in the overall performance or will be the same (with plenty of space that won't be used NEVER)
    Thanks a lot for your time
    Kind regards
    Sebastian
     

    Thanks for the answer. I've been through the wiki and have the system set up according to it, with a few modifications of my own.
    The file system is ext2 and it became so bad that I couldn't even repair it after booting with a rescue stick.
    So, I reinstalled and the problem was right there again, even after a fresh format and re-partition.
    Now however, after a second reinstall, it has been running well for about a week.
    It all feels very strange and all I really wanted to know was if any other ssd and AA1 users have experienced anything similar, but I guess I'm the only one this far. I hope it stays that way

  • ACER ASPIRE 5560G BIOS ISSUE

    I purchased a Acer Aspire 5560g yesterday second hand , lappy worked great. Was updating all the drivers one of which was the BIOS. The install went through and then upon reboot the machine Black Screened. No HDD activity no display. Just a solid Blue light on front bezel fan running. Connected to external monitor and still nothing. From all Ive read it sounds like the BIOS installed hosed. Can someone PLEASE give me a good step by step on how to reflash the BIOS on this machine using a USB drive? I have also reset the cmos battery and reseated the ram.

  • Acer aspire v5 131 start up issues

    Hello, I have an Acer aspire v5-131 and its 2 years old. It's windows 8 I got the message where I can auto update to windows 10 so I decided to do that but never noticed any difference. The problem where it can't get past the start up and there's 3 different types. 1. It shows the acer logo and the loading animation but then the screen goes black after 10 minutes. 2. It says preparing automatic repair then the screen goes black after 10 minutes. 3. It says "Scanning and repairing drive (C but stops at 47%. I've waited 3 hours but it still didn't progress after that.

    if you don't have a recovery media, please download the iso for windows 10 and create a bootable media with it:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 once done, try to boot from it, press F12 at boot and select your bootable media. if it boots try to enter safe mode as i wrote in my previous post.

    I only see 1 RAM slot for my Acer Aspire V5-551-8401 and it has the factor 2GB RAM card loaded into it, yet my computer shows 4GB of total RAM, In not sure how. I'm running the factory installed Windows 8. Can I load a 4GB RAM into that slot instead? Am I just not seeing the 2nd slot? There appears to be soom copper thing screwed into the location where I would have expected to se a second RAM slot, and the copper continues up to the cooling fan. I wanted to increase the RAM to 8GB to see if it helps with performance (which is slow) but now became confused when I saw what I described above.

  • [SOLVED] Acer Aspire One - Wireless issue + Wpa_supplicant

    Hi there!
    I've been using arch on both my desktop and laptop for a while, with wpa_supplicant working perfectly for both of them (University 802.1x auth) I have a config file which works perfectly on the same wireless network with my laptop, but on the netbook I just can't seem to get on it. It's an Acer Aspire One - A150.
    This computer uses as we know an atheros chip, which I just can't seem to get working. My laptop on the other hand uses an ipw2200 chip which works fine.
    I've installed the madwifi modules, and when doing iwconfig i can see wlan0 listed.  If i try to scan for wireless ap's with "iwlist wlan0 scan" it does not find anything.
    Doing "wpa_supplicant -Dmadwifi -iwlan0 -c/..../wpa_supplicant.conf -dd " produces the following error

    two things:
    1. Your computer should be using the ath5k driver for the ar5007 chipset that your netbook has... and
    2. If the opensource approach doesn't work for you, build this driver.

  • Firefox Slow Even When Offline on Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145

    I have a 2gb RAM, 1.33 Ghz Intel Atom CPU Z520, and a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate on my Acer Aspire One ao751h-1145. I have no viruses and no programs running in the background. I've installed and uninstalled various versions of Firefox (4, 11, 12) and even upon a fresh install before I edit preferences, bookmarks, or add-ons, the PROGRAM ITSELF is super slow. It isn't using any more RAM or processer speed that it should, however. What it does: Menus are slow to open, scrolling is jumpy, and switching from tab to tab takes like 2 seconds. Internet Explorer 8 works just fine, as do all other programs on the computer. Also, it works fine in Safe Mode. I can't find anything regarding this issue online. Help!

    Thanks for reply. But, drivers are up to date. However, I found on this page (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers) that I might want to disable hardware acceleration. I did that through the options menu and Firefox is "usable," but still not what I'm used to on other computers and still not as fast as IE on the same computer. Since turning of the hardware acceleration helped, what else can I do along the same lines to speed it up more? I know a 1.33GHz processor is plenty fast enough to run only firefox by itself. The computer I'm on now (my non-netbook) runs at 700MHz when on batteries and has no performance issues. I hope I can get it because I don't want to use another browser! :(

  • Why should I buy an Air instead of an ultrabook such as the Acer Aspire S7

    Looking at getting a easily portable laptop for school. What are some reasons to get an Air (13", i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB flash) instead of an ultrabook such as the Acer Aspire S7 (13", i7, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) Price is nearly the same.

    Because you'll be able to upgrade to the next big release of OS X (Mavericks) this fall — which should improve upon the Air's 12hr battery life:

However, this wasn't without problems after installation.. I found that Windows 10 was not detecting any wireless adapter, preventing me from accessing the Internet wirelessly. I tried to get the driver off the acer website (selected W7 as the driver is only listed on that OS) but that didn't work - it said it successfully installed but still wouldn't recognise the card, even after a reboot. The ethernet adapter was there (listed in Device Manager), just not the wireless card. To test whether it was a Windows 10 issue with how it handles wireless connections, I attempted to install a USB wireless adapter I had (which is usually in use by another PC) and that worked successfully after installing the driver for the adapter. This is not a solution though because the other PC needs that adapter to connect to the Internet. In the end, I just reverted back to Windows 7 and the card was detected once again. This is disappointing because another computer of mine that is much older + has weaker hardware, successfully managed to install Windows 10 without hiccups and even after installation, it runs flawlessly. So why can't Acer enable more support for other systems? The Z5801 should be perfectly capable enough of running the latest OS but due to lack of support, users of this PC must stick to Windows 7.. It's not just the driver either.. this PC suffers from other issues during upgrade and after installation. I don't know, it's disappointing. I've wasted so much time trying to install it and every time, a new problem arises.
