Hello.

I bought Acer Aspire One 725 (A1-AO725-C7CBB), installed fresh, valid Windows 7 and nothing else. Next downloaded VGA drivers from acer site and installed it. After that Windows boot 2-3x longer that normal, stuck on Windows 7 logo for ~45 seconds. This issue is on every boot. I removed VGA drivers and boot back to normal.

I format my HDD, reinstalled Windows 7 and again downloaded and installed VGA drivers. Again have long boot, and after removeed VGA drivers boot is ok.

So I think this is fault of bad VGA drivers. Acer will release new VGA drivers for Aspire One 725?

Regards.

hi...

You need to check if you have installed the correct video drivers.

Is there any devices with yellow exclamation mark in the device manager?

You need to run the above mentioned hardware vendor utility to find the corect video card manufacturer.

Then download and install the correct VGA vendor drivers.

Do not have any yellow exclamation. VGA driver for AO725 Windows 7 is only one (v8.981.0.0000):

It isn't Acer who make the drivers lol... you should check what is your GPU and check their website - http://www.geforce.com/drivers for nvidia or http://support.amd.com/en-us/download for AMD.

Aspire One 725 have APU AMD C-70. All drivers from AMD site do not works. I checked all. Drivers from AMD site can't detect VGA. Only driver from Acer site can detect VGA. This driver prepare Acer but have long boot bug in Windows 7.

But I bought AO725 without Operating System (NoOS version), so I must installed my own Windows 7.

So Acer will release new, proper VGA drivers for AO725?

Acer does not ship products without an operating system.

As stated in the private message, send me the serial number of the system and where you purchased it.

Acer Poland sold Aspire One 725 i two versions:

1. With Windows 8.

2. Without any OS.

I bought this second version.
