I bought the ANV15-41-R6HR model around April 20th ish and it’s only been a month.

It used to be fine. I had games such as Fortnite or Security Breach running at 79°c both at high graphics. I also have the llano cooling pad. When I do play games, I put it into performance mode, max fan.

Recently, it’s been above 85°c so I checked the graphics drive and updated it. Now it’s still at 85°c. My brother told me to open task manager and close random programs like chrome and stuff but it still hasn’t done anything to bring it back.

It’s currently sitting in balance and auto and it’s at 66°c cou with only 16% cpu. It used to sit at 30-40 around that percentage

Hey guys, looking at a PC/laptop at Canada Computers for $1,100 CAD pre-tax. The discount is huge—almost suspiciously good lol.

Hello, I have an Acer Nitro V16 (some specs: 16:10, 1TB ssd, RTX 4060, AmD Ryzen 7 8845HS) that showed me the NO BOOTABLE DEVICE like 40 days ago. I fixed it, after a long process to recover all the data first, but yesterday the same identical issue showed up again. Like a loop. I’m exhausted actually, because I was still recovering from the reorganisation of all my stuff.

I wanted to know:

1. is this some kind of default issue that happens with this model? Because if so, I’m gonna change the machine.
2. did it happen to someone else other than me? I can’t believe that is just misfortune.

Hi everyone,

About 3 weeks ago, we bought an Acer Nitro V15 ANV15-52 laptop (FreeDOS) for my sibling to use for university. I did the initial setup and installed the drivers located on its internal disk partition. Everything seemed fine at first, but my sibling told me it started giving blue screens and shutting down while studying. The initial error code was KERNEL\_MODE\_HEAP\_CORRUPTION.

Since they were at university and had an urgent assignment, I couldn't intervene immediately. It wasn't a constant error; sometimes it worked flawlessly for 3 hours, other times it crashed 5-10 minutes after booting. When they came home, I thought maybe the drivers were incompatible with Windows 10, so I upgraded it to Windows 11. When the issue persisted, I used DDU to wipe the graphics drivers and reinstalled them from Acer's official website. That didn't solve it either.

Thinking it might need a clean install, I formatted the PC, installed a fresh Windows 11, and downloaded all the latest drivers directly from Acer's official site. Turns out, the official VGA driver on their site is bugged/wrong. In games, there was a faint red watermark in the bottom right corner (See Image 1). I asked an AI about this, and it said this was likely a developer test driver. I tested it via CMD (nvidia-smi) and saw that the driver wasn't recognizing the GPU properly and was locking the wattage at a 50W limit (See Image 2).

After this, I used DDU again to completely remove the drivers in Safe Mode and reinstalled the original OEM drivers that came inside the laptop's ResourceCD disk. Running the same CMD command, it correctly showed the RTX 5050 with a 60W capacity, as it should be.

I installed all missing drivers from the Device Manager; there were no unknown devices left. The system was completely clean. Then came our main issue: the VIDEO\_MEMORY\_MANAGEMENT\_INTERNAL (Bugcheck 10e) error. I evaluated all possibilities for this. I am attaching the last 4-5 minidump files, and they all point to the exact same issue (dxgmms2.sys and VIDMM\_CPU\_HOST\_APERTURE::MapRange).

Finally, I downloaded and installed the latest BIOS and VBIOS updates from Acer's official site. I thought this would definitely fix it, but I was wrong—the issue persists. Throughout this process, I disabled Windows Update using a blocker so it wouldn't download incompatible/outdated drivers in the background.

Here is the catch: The crashes NEVER happen during gaming or when the laptop is plugged in. They ONLY happen when on battery power. I've gotten this error when waking the laptop from sleep (it reboots with a BSOD as soon as the desktop appears). It usually happens when browser tabs and Word are open. As a test, I switched to "Battery Saver" mode while having 3-5 tabs open, and it instantly gave the error and rebooted. However, I tried the exact same thing 5-6 more times later, and it didn't crash. In short, it's intermittent and unpredictable when or under what conditions it will crash, but I NEVER get this error while using the NVIDIA GPU heavily or when plugged into the charger.

Here is a summary of the troubleshooting steps I've taken:

• Driver cleanup and fixing the first error: Cleaned NVIDIA and Intel drivers in Safe Mode using DDU. Reinstalling the original internal NVIDIA driver fixed the 50W limit and the KERNEL\_MODE\_HEAP\_CORRUPTION error.

• OEM Driver Installation: Used the factory drivers from the internal ResourceCD partition instead of the official website. Clean installed Intel VGA UMA, Intel Chipset, and Intel Turbo Boost (MEI).

• Windows Update Blocker: Used a blocker tool to prevent Windows Update from overwriting these stable drivers.

• BIOS Update: Updated the motherboard BIOS from v1.30 to the latest v1.53 (System optimization) from Acer's site.

• VBIOS Update: Successfully flashed the Firmware (VBIOS) update provided for the NVIDIA RTX 5050.

• Power Setting Tests: Since the error triggers in low power states on battery, I ran load tests by playing a 4K video in the browser while setting Windows to "Best Power Efficiency" mode.

• RAM Test: Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic, and no errors were found.

• Last Attempts: Just now, I disabled Memory Integrity (Core Isolation) and Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) in Windows. I'm currently testing with these turned off, but assuming this won't fix it either, I decided to post here.

I'm open to any suggestions. Is there anything I missed? Sending it to warranty is my last resort, but I want to rule out every single software possibility first to avoid the hassle.

I have Acer Nitro 5 since 2022 and I have always had this problem. My laptop is refubrished and I have 3050ti and i7 11800H, 16GB RAM, 2x 256 GB SSD.

Since the very beginning my GPU and CPU always worked under very high temperatures when doing anything even a little bit demanding. When for example playing games my CPU goes as high as 93°C and GPU maybe around 83°C.

Whenever I'm playing newer games I'm experiencing very low fps, for example I started playing Rust recently and even when I lowered all the settings to minimal values I still have 20-35 fps. For some games it is always like this and for others I have no problems. Also if I turn the settings to high I still have same fps numbers so I don't think it has anything to do with the game itself.

I also tried a lot of things in the Windows settings, like changing the power plan settings, changing preferable GPU to be 3050ti and not integrated Intel card, etc, also changed thermal paste, nothing helped.

Anyone has a solution for this?
