    Possibly,you have to flash your video-cards bios. You bought it from ebay used or new?

    Ask to seller, which notebook BIOS version was flashed intoyour videocard. For example, GT240M are three or four versions of BIOS -for Acer, Asus, Dell... On that depends which drivers you have to use. That is one thing.

    Other thing is that you might have to install specific drivers. Try to download bios of your card using NiBiTor software. Than upload it here. I`ll try to recognize, is it for Acer or not. Maybe the problem is there.

    Strange. As I can see, the bios is from gts250m, as intended. Try also this driver. If that`ll not help, than you have to ask somebodie else for help at this forum. Try to ask about your problem here.

    It is necessary to have last BIOS. Last BIOS version has some issue fixes and device list update.

    Use this one. Before flashing, read guide on how to flash BIOS. Guide is located at this forum. You can find it through 5739G officials thread.

    This is enough if you are 100% confident, that at flashing process through windows nothing goes wrong. Even usual windows service can corrupt the flashing process. After that your BIOS`ll be wrongly flashed (your notebook`ll not work after that). To ensure as maximum % of successive flashing as possible, go safe mode, turn off antivirus and UAC, only after that try to flash your BIOS through windows. Don`t forger to charge the battery on 100% and plug AC to your notebook. Whatever can happen, don`t interrupt the flashing process!

    Disable UAC through windows control panel. Than plug AC to notebook, charge battery to 100%, than try to flash bios.

    It will be delivered to me from 8th of october to 17th of october. Hope it will be delivered at 8th of october. I`ve searched video card like this for a year, approximatelly. Bought this card, because it is cheap and has ROM chip factory-soldered on it. And yeah, it is really strong card for our notebook.
