Acer Aspire 5930(G) owner thread

Rayyan i tried to download the bluetooth driver you gave me. But im using xp so it dosen't work. I need the bluetooth driver that's compatible for xp OS

Thanks even though for your help m8!

Would be nice if anyone els has a solution to the problem

 

Yeah, it was worth a try anyway

Try the bluetooth driver on here, it is for xp
http://www.laptops-drivers.com/acer-notebooks/acer-aspire-5930-windows-xp-drivers.html

 

oc of gpu with 90º full and 45º idle its dangerous ?

 

90 degrees is hot, so you may want to to cut back a little if you want to game for long periods of time, to reduce the risk of damaging any components

 

Okey rayyan so when i have installed this xp bluetooth driver it say's when almost completed installation:

"No bluetooth device detected" Please make sure that your bluetooth device is plugged in corectly"

I have activated bluetooth on my mobile (it's a very new samsung omnia i900) so it must be more then compatible with new computers.

Got any solution to this why it can't find my phone?

 

vaquin you don't have bluetooth on board. You can install every drivers you want it won't work ;-) since there's no bluetooth device on your 5930G.

 

@Vaquin
I would ask you to download this software called SIW (System Information for Windows) and check if you have bluetooth as hardware on your machine. It would be ironic if you still cannot find that, cuz its a 5930G..that's y (i have heard of series within this series that carry no bluetooth module..lets just hope yours isn't one of them)

"No Bluetooth device found" will be shown even if there is a bluetooth device inside. Its just that you will have to switch it on using the button on the left side of the keyboard with the bluetooth icon. Press it during the installation if you really want to know if there is such a device or not. Its mostly a Broadcom device, so get the right driver. Wrong drivers also wont detect the hardware.

You can get the software here.

And guys, btw, i still have a device which has no drivers related to it. "Modem on High definition Audio Bus". Any ideas? None of the drivers i got have an idea of what this thing is .

 

Here's maybe a hint of where you can find your bluetooth hardware manufacturer, just in case.

 

I have a 5930G and no bluetooth device so it's possible. I have the bluetooth button on the left which is useless.

 

oh... that's bad, dude... that is more like cheating isn't it... i thought every modern electronic device was equipped with bluetooth... seems like its not..

 

Yeah, but I guess that the bluetooth button is part of the chassis so it remains there even if the laptop does not come with the bluetooth module installed

Ath: google the thing you can't find drivers for, to see what it is, then see if the driver is available on the acer site

Also, do you know if 500GB laptop drives are available here yet or not ????

 

Well, a friend gave me a little bluetooth usb dongle which works perfectly but i only used it two times...Bluetooth is not very useful to me but sometimes it can be fun to have it.

I have fingerprint protection on board instead which is way useless than bluetooth. ;-) I bought the 5930G for the 9600M GT DDR3 at unbeatable price that's all i don't really mind about the rest.

I knew that my 5930G wouldn't come with bluetooth before i bought it, it was the same thing with my first Acer so no deception here. I had the bluetooth button but not the device on the mobo.

 

When I look in everest my hard drive is SATA-II 320GB 8 Mo buffer (probably 5400 tpm)

I've seen some SATA-II 320GB 7200 tpm and with 16 mo buffer. It can be an interesting upgrade when they'll reach 500 gb capacity.

Edit : It seems like it already exists :

http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/de...4 ST9500420AS - hard drive - 500 GB -_1663729

139 $

 

Yup, I might actually go with a 500gb 5k as 7k might be too expensive, the cost of laptop drives is outrageous here much more expensive than "sexy" [where you live] kallogan , I'll still keep me eye out though

Also, guys I ran 3DMark06 on stock GPU clocks, max temps reached were 71 all around and this is the result:


I'm not sure whether this is good or bad, of course if I crank the clocks to the levels you guys used to o/c who knows what will happen??

What do you think

 

Rayyan your temp and score seem to be totally normal. I scored about 5665 with Dox crap and stock clocks. With 179.28 i would score about 5600 i think maybe less.

As for HD, i think the 7K 16MB 500GB is veryyyy sexy ;-) Too expensive tough but perhaps one day. I will add a "desired HD" stuff in my signature héhé

 

So my processor only increased my score by ~100 points or less

Guess 0.26GHz doesnt make much difference

 

i smell a little disappointment ;-) maybe it's rather 150-200 points...don't know maybe i'd score only 5500 with 179.28.

 

Not really

The real results will be when I overclock the card (probably in the summer after my finals)

BTW Kallogan

Search 4860 on the forums
There are two or three threads on it the forum that I'm keeping up with, and it looks to be an amazing card =to or better than 4850, and there is a chance that it may be released as an MXM-II card
A solid upgrade for us

With that, a T9600 [2.8GHz] and a 500GB HD this laptop would be a killer machine and last even longer

Cheack it out, and keep your fingers crossed

 

You read in my mind, that is the perfect 5930G i'm dreaming about each night ;-)

Will take a look at those threads.

Just went to bench with stock clocks and 179.48 (quite similar than 179.28)

Score : 5590 (cpu score is 1738). Therefore 110-120 points more. Means you can probably hit 7000 points with 660/1650/950.

 

Okey thanks for answers about the bluetooth. It say's in SIW i got the bluetooth in hardware so i guess i have it then?

 

Yes logically. What's your cpu ????

 

how much difference does xp have with vista in 3dmark

 

i believe that alcyonex says it on this thread, about 200 points i guess.

Re: Acer Aspire 5930(G) owner thread

The main difference it's the procesor and... the OS!!!

I get 200-300 points more with XP!!

 

4860 seems to be awsome !!! What is this gpu coming from nowhere ??? GDDR5 1ghz....40 nm
10 000 points with only a 128 bits bus width, this is crazy.

On pictures i've seen it looks like MXM II....Let me dream ;-)

 

it won't be the 5930G anymore with these modifications

 

I got the Intel mobile core 2 duo P7350

 

That's the point

People think you have a cheap Acer

Till you fire up crysis and they faint


I'm also going to re-spray the whole thing when the warranty is up

Black all over with red flames/tribal

 

I'll blue spray mine

 

If it makes you happy

I prefer red on black

 

i'll spray a half-naked sexy girl

 

and we have a winner

 

LOL

Can you spray a half naked girl, or would you just a slap a pic of something like your laptop background on the lid

I wanna take it apart fully, sand of all the paint on the liid, around the screen, and the chassis, then paint it all jet black, add red flames/tribal (my name somewhere ) then coat it to get some gloss (not too much)

I also wanna switch all the blue LEDs (power, touch buttons) to red to match , but I don't think I could

 

then you call it RaYYaNware as in alienware

 

Who knows

 

Hi all

Just notice that my keyboard "goes down" a little bit when pressing in the middle. It's more stable on the sides if you know what I mean.

Should it be like that?

Maybe you can say it's bending when pressing the keyboard (i'm not that good at english)

 

I don't get what you mean but I'll share my experience
the [up arrow] has been dislocated at mine and i don not if its broken or not
and when i googled this issue i found A LOT of people having the same problem so i guess all the notebooks has a ty keyboard quality after all

 

Well I mean if you press down for example G pretty hard you can see the keys around also go down a little bit, or the plate under the keys. it's not stiff.

But if you press the A key the board under the keys are more "stiff".

 

I don't have this issue

When I press the G key, the ones around it don't really press

Dunno, maybe it'll happen later on

 

lol ozzon after reading your post, i've tried to press "g" key strongly and indeed the keyboard bent a little ;-). But frankly it only happens when you press keys really hard so it's not really an issue. I would never have pointed it out by typing normally.

So let me ask you this :

Wouldn't you be a nit-picker ??

 

i don't have this issue either

 

So do anyone know a good bluetooth program to transfer files to the mobile?

 

why would you need one ... right click > send to bluetooth device

 

But it cant find my bluetooth device :S

 

Not all of these models come with a Bluetooth.
Yours for example is the same is mine, and I don't have bluetooth incorporated inside of mine.
I do have a button for it, but it doesn't work, nor is there anything in Device manager indicating of a possible bluetooth device.

 

i assumed he has the blutetooth hardware and want a software for it

 

That ...
Indeed ... no reason to mess around with specialized software since most of the time it's useless and hogs lots of system resources.

I would also recommend you simply transfer files manually.

 

So i was right he doesn't have bluetooth !!!!!!!! grrrrrr !

Edit: Oops you were speaking of Medo's lap.

BTW Deks welcome back my friend ;-) i almost believed you were dead p

 

Lol ... I went to London and have been busy in the meantime.
Haven't had much time really to check into these forums as I had a hectic run.
I just hope things stabilize in a good manner this Monday.

 

Just for sharing my expérience guys, two days ago i've completely crashed my lap when trying to erase the two Acer ghost partitions (cause they take 12 GB of Hard drive) with crappy log partition magic 8 .

Then impossible to boot windows. I've tried everything and everything partitioning softwares to recover my system, i couldn't use my lap for 24 hours, in brief the complete mess ;-)

So, well, don't erase these partitions ;-)

 

man i hate those 2 ugly partitions
