FN+F6 function is tu turn off the screen until any button keyboard is pressed, so it won't help. Your motherboard is dead, you have to use the warranty or go to repair shop.

Update your BIOS to latest version and it should be okay.

If it's SF314-41 - there is only one port for external display, it's HDMI. There are ways to connect multiple displays through single port, but it has to be DisplayPort, your laptop doesn't have it.

It does have two output ports - HDMI and DisplayPort over USB-C.

Try updating your BIOS it might help, because Acer had left bugs in sleep mode on it's BIOS with some of the AMD laptops.

Hi. Your ultrabook can be charged with PowerBank or Dock which delivers 65W power or more. With power banks, it is important that 65W of power would be delivered through a single port.

If laptop is totally new, this might not be the case. But its really odd, if laptop with such a thermal design did reached the industry. Of course opening bottom lid is not that hard, there are few screws and you're in the computer (https://youtu.be/EX-2i3FWk2I?t=300). Then to check it out, you unscrew the fan (2 screws)…

There may be too many dust in the radiator.

Try disabling turbo boost by following these instructions: It might help.

Okay, so there's a better workaround I've been using for this summer. And I didn't hear the fan spin. And basically couldn't feel any performance lose. CPU turbo boost works by temporarily overclocking itself to max clock until it reaches critical temperature and fans needs to kick in at full speed to cool it down.…

If you have internet connection through Ethernet adapter, try pressing Fn+F2 buttons on your keyboard few times. It should physically re-enable your connection adapters.

Everything is right with your laptop. Problem is in the power bank. It can only deliver up to 30W of power delivery (20V*1.5A=30W). To start charging SF314-42 you need 65W of power delivery.

Hi! I had the same issue with same model. It was a problem with BIOS. Acer fixed it, so all you have to do is to update BIOS to latest. You can get latest BIOS Acer support page: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/8263

What tool are you using for creating bootable USB? Rufus sometimes doesn't create fine bootable media. For Linux distros I recommend balenaEtcher.

There may be a case where bottom chassis is mounted with a mistake. Unscrewing and re-mounting may help (before screwing - don't forget to firmly press the chassis from both sides, until you hear an attach a click).

There might be only two test that uses similar algorithm as in your picture compared to ones in the link:Q32T1 4K = Q32T1 4K Read/Write Q1T1 4K = 4K Read/Write I recommend you getting CrystalDiskMark version 5.2 or 6, because of proper comparison on results of that link. Results may surprise.

I have to mention, that you do need at least 65W or more to charge it through USB-C port. Not all of the phone chargers has that power. ;)

I do use to charge this laptop through USB-C port.

Hello, You're expecting results same as from PassMark benchmark, but you're benchmarking with CrystalDiskMark application. Applications are using different algorithms to test your hardware. Different algorithms = different results. Check out other benchmarks results with type of SSD of yours made with CrystalDiskMark,…

Been using my Swift 3 with Turbo boost disabled for a week. Haven't heard a fan spin up. :)
