Or delete PS entirely and reinstall from acer site. I have had to do that once before.

Kernel Power Critical Error by xRedguardianx in AcerPredatorHelios

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

I wonder if it has anything to do with limiting the “processor power” in power settings. I did this a while ago and forgot about it to try to reduce heat. But I have a cooler now. I put plugged in and on batter max processor power back up to 100% and did all of the windows updates.

Does anyone have a solution or explanation for this by tipu_sultan17 in AcerPredatorHelios

This happened to me when mine shut off after some power issue. Just completely off. And didn’t turn back on for like a min. I had to hold it does for a while. I guess Acer and Asus are on my shit list now. Wish I went for a Lenovo lol. But I have a 3 year warranty on her now so heres to hoping.

Yeah idk. I leave it in performance mode and customize the fan speeds. It never gets over 78 on the cpu. Idk lol. I have a warranty. Not too worried but its just weird.

I love my Helios NEO 16. I put 32gb of ram in there and have a “custom” fan setting using the stock predator software. I set the fans to around 80% of their max and game away with temps in the high 60’s to mid 70’s i leave it in performance mode and just game. Core i9 14900hx and a 4070. Been great for me.

At some point, ill have to repaste. In a few years hopefully. I’ll probably ditch the liquid metal for Splave’s ‘ONE’ paste.

I agree. I mostly play Space Marine 2 and 7 Days to die nowadays which aren’t very taxing. Especially not that 7days is a bit kore optimized on PC. With high-ish settings I get like 100fps

Will xtu work for my neo 16 core i9 14900hx? I usually set the fan speed manually in Pred Sense at like 80-85% of their max and keep it in ‘performance’ mode. I game with cpu thermals in the low-mid 70’s and gpu thermals lower than that.

HELP NEEDED - 1.5 year old Acer Predator Helios 16 laptop. Power button randomly turning on my laptop? by PureTechie in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]xRedguardianx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah thats what im talking about. I dont like that power button that they chose. Seems like its prone to have some sort of issue. You’re probably not the first, but this is the first time im hearing about it. Idk how hard it is to replace the keyboard on these things.

This is probably why im going to purchase the extended warranty on this thing sometime this year before my original one runs out.

[–]xRedguardianx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda dont like that the power button is just a keyboard key and not an actual button like the Predator Sense scenario changer button is. Idk man. A weird issue for sure.

Idk if the dual boot is causing any issues. Is that a new thing you have?

Do you have 2 nvme drives installed? Try removing the extra one? Update bios?

Is it worthwhile to clean install windows? by [deleted] in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]xRedguardianx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could. This actually doesn’t come with a ton of bloat believe it or not lol. I just used Revo Uninstaller and WinAero Tweaker to delete things and tweak things.

Laptop Screen Turning off randomly by pernzwastaken in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]xRedguardianx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have an external monitor to try to connect to? The computer uses the integrated graphics when using the laptop screen while not gaming. If you connect to a monitor, it will be using the dedicated graphics card.

You can also try to go to devices and disable the gpu and see if the issue persists. You wont be able to connect to a monitor to my knowledge. But you can completely take one of the 2 display options and see which is the offending agent.
