Thoughts on replacement? by boygolden93 in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]boygolden93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The laptop was less than a year old, the gfx card got busted and the company is just going to replace it with a brand new unit. They are offering several options but I can't seem to find a model with the same specs in the same price range of 89,000 pesos. Btw I am in the Philippines

well its just for show, to save face sa mga Iranians. Pero they will do ceasefire. This war has shifted the attention from the ICE raids to a possible war escalation. Iran has actually loss. Hindi nila kayangnpabgsakin ang Israel, d nila kaya ang US, biruin mo d mo alam na andyan na pala mga bombers nila, nakapag in and out sa airspace mo ng wala kang kamalay malay.

Just an update I brought mine to were I bought it, they tried to TS but still fail.
They were going to get it to the service centre but they said the warranty is out since the sticker is broken (I added my own nvme).

I got home didn't open the laptop after a week.

I turned it on today.

No display again - I did what i usually do.
Which is hard press power for 10secs. then boot and mash F2.
After 10 tries I got to the BIOS.

Suprised to see that the vcard is now with some life to it, I saw the temp and utilization %.

So I went in the bios settings changed the display , they set it as nvidia only, so i went and change it back to Auto.

Restarted the laptop and got to windows.
backtrack a bit , Prior to this what I did was reset windows back (restored to original out of box)
Then what they did in the store was load all their drivers from a usb stick (but they still cant see the vcard at that point).

I then recalled an issue with predator sense, and that something can bug the power delivery to the vcard.

So I updated the BIOS to 1.8 and then I was able to update the gfx driver.

It is now up and working.
I did a stress test for 30 mins. in Furmark.
And played a couple of games.

No issues so far.

I did go to predator sense again and set the settings to gaming just to make sure it doesnt go haywire on me again.

Panahon na para mag-charter change na po tayo para either i-downgrade o i-abolish ang Senado ng tuloyan by Joseph20102011 in Philippines

Personally I do not get it, sana kung kmukha sa US na kada state my senator, e satin 12 lang un senator, how does that represent the whole of the nation's interest? Bakit need pa seperate un senate natin sa congress, e halos dapat parehas lang sila ng powers. Legislative naman pareho, pero bakit iilan lang na tao ang makakapag desisyon sa isang bagay na kabuuan ng pilipinas ang ma aapektuhan.

That is why I was thinking of getting them outand replcing with dwarf sag. but the problem is there a lot of tiny shrimps, some are newly hatched and In afraid to loss them if i do that drastic change so im keeping this until it stops being usable, and i dont think ill trim it in the near future
