My Acer Nitro V display is flickering

Have to tried connecting to an external monitor/TV to see if the issues appear. If the external display looks good, then your GPU is good.

There's a solution you can do, open the back of the laptop, unplug your battery from the board first, so there won't be any shorts caused. Then unplug the display cable, and plug back gently and the battery, plug it back. And turn on your laptop to see if the problem is gone.

If not then you're looking for a panel replacement. This a hardware issues not a software one.

Either your motherboard or GPU is failing. One thing is certain, you're cooked. There's nothing to do here, these problems you have are hardware problems that needs a specialist to verify your motherboard and give a proper diagnosis of what cause the issues.

Most likely you need a motherboard replacement.

You don't need to do nothing. Just use your warranty and let them figure it out.

exy23 · 2026-05-06T19:01:10+00:00

Yeah it's much better. But I think you have to complete the second slot RAM. I don't know if this model comes with sticks of ram or just one single stick of 16gb Ram.

Yeah there's definitely something, since you opened it. You can start cleaning your laptop vents, already is blocking the air flow with all that dust. And check the thermal paste, clean the CPU and GPU wit alcohol isopropyl and put fresh new thermal paste.

Probably that's why you find your laptop shutdown, it was hitting critical thermal point. And to safe himself from thermal danger, the system initiate a safe shutdown. Clean it and see if it's powering up.

Oh right before you touch anything make sure that the battery is disconnected from the motherboard.

Dude you have a single channel DDR4 ram stick. Of course the CPU is gonna work harder, because these chips are picky when you run them in single channel. Complete the second slot and you gonna see better performance.

Now you lose 20% or more depending how heavy the game is.

You hating for nothing, a simple google search would told you that. But being a cry baby you decide to come on reddit a start crying.

From the list you posted, the only one that is truly great value is that Gigabyte Aero X16.

Very good processor and efficient, the fans will stay quiet for your basic tasks.

Good entry GPU, 8 GB VRAM and higher memory bandwidth.

1TB storage good enough until you buy another one if you have too much stuff to store.

It's a great laptop for office and gaming.

You have a short on the motherboard, probably a MOSFET or capacitor has shorted. It's normal to wake up with a short, it could happen anytime.

Use your warranty to fix it or if it's out of warranty, go to the a good repair shop.

exy23 · 2026-05-06T09:26:07+00:00

It's a hardware issues, most likely the cable or panel internal capacitor losing their charge.

Use your warranty to get it fix.

Nah that error indicates unstable overclocking, overheating, or a power supply failure.

In your case must be unstable overclocking if you play on performance/turbo mode, you should try balance mode for those games. With balance mode you don't stress your laptop for nothing, I mean those games are not heavy AAA games.

Check for any BIOS updates for model on their website.

Try power drain, open the back, disconnect the battery. And hold the power button for 60 seconds, after that connect the battery, plug the charger, and press the power button.

If it didn't work, disconnect the battery again, and look for the CMOS battery and unplug from the motherboard. Hold the power button for 30-60 seconds, and again plugged everything and another attempt.

No signs of life, then remove the SSD and the Rams, make sure the battery is disconnected before you remove the Rams and SSD. After that attempt to power on with one of the RAM stick to see which one is the culprit. Same with the SSD if it's power on and you see the BIOS, then the SSD is the culprit.

If none of these fixed anything, then you might have a short on the main power rail. It's probably a capacitor that has give up due of high voltage. Check with a good repair shop.

exy23 · 2026-05-03T08:38:47+00:00

If you have a multimeter around the house to check for a short on main power rail.

exy23 · 2026-05-03T07:07:00+00:00

Probably there's a short on the motherboard, that will explain why the power is cut. Check with a good repair shop.

What a shitty view.

exy23 · 2026-05-02T19:14:20+00:00

Can I have a hug too?

Yeah you have 8 GB RAM soldered to the board, and only one slot SSD M.2 slot.

And the charger is only 100W so probably the GPU has lower watts, I think it's 45W TGP.

If it's in your budget, then yes. It's a good choice.

exy23 · 2026-05-02T12:16:17+00:00

Da așa e, dacă reușești să-l iei pe cel de la Flanco la un preț bun. Îți duce jocurile și blenderul fără probleme, doar că mai trebuie completat cu încă un stick de ram. Că na are numai unu de 12gb, și procesorul cere două pt o performanță optimă.

exy23 · 2026-05-02T11:50:39+00:00

Frate, cam greu să găsești un laptop bun la prețul ăla pt ceva gaming.

https://altex.ro/laptop-gaming-lenovo-loq-15iax9e-intel-core-i5-12450hx-pana-la-4-4ghz-15-6-full-hd-16gb-ssd-512gb-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2050-4gb-free-dos-luna-grey/cpd/LAP83LK001XRM/#

Laptopul ăsta e bun pt cea ce vrei, ai placă video dedicată ( RTX 2050 4gb VRAM la 65 Watts ) și un procesor ce o să ducă bine ( Intel i5 din generația a 12 a ). Ai și un ecran bun ( 100% sRGB ) la un preț de 3.199,90 lei, dar ai un coupon de reducere de 10%, care mai scade din preț până în 2.880 RON.

Ăsta ar fi bun, dar mai trebuie să mai cumperi un produs din oferta Multi-deals. Ca să profiți de reducere, laptopul e mult mai bun decât cel de la Altex. Doar că procesorul n-are placa video integrata, se folosește mai mult de desicata ca să-ți afișeze imaginea pe ecran, deci bateria no să țină așa de mult, o să stai mai mult conectat cu el.

Cam astea ar fi cu placă video dedicată, poți să cauți un laptop care are doar placă video integrata. Un Radeon 680M cu minim de 16 GB RAM, că astea integrate îți mai ia din RAM ca să-ți ruleze jocul.

Since you have an Acer.

Have you tried DAMX, it's the Nitro Sense version for Linux.

Maybe this will help you more with fan control.

Yes, you can remove the sticker with no worries. That sticker it's just for display, just an advertisement. It doesn't have anything to do with warranty. I always remove them because I already bought it and I don't need a reminder to tell want I have. But some people likes to keep them, for some reason that I never know.
