I find it funny that the last two threads are marked solved when after reading Anyone with the issue has really had nothing solved. I'm sorry but i've been having the same issue The predator Sense software is not working properly. The faster and turbo overclock buttons are not doing anything at all, not even changing the numbers in its own window, and i cant get the growl lights on to save my life. It all worked before the update. it was that very second i clicked the install button for the update it stopped. So I find it hard to believe it was windows updates or any other nonsense that's causing issues here.
There has been nothing from Acer - **** or anyone else from Acer that has been remotely helpful in solving this issue. Simple fact of the matter is People are buying these computers that are suppose to be competing with Dells Alienware in some way (hence the name) but really there is no real competition when you look at Alianware's top end stuff.
Acer isn't living up to one of the biggest selling points of their machine, nothing seems to be addressed after a month +, slowly ppl are realizing it with even fewer posting about it, yet we haven't recieved one helpful explanation of direction on what to do or how to use this "beast" to its full potential without voiding warranties. Oh but the last two posts have been "solved". Is there an UNSOLVED BUTTON? I'd like to click it please.!!!
If this machine were made to handle over-clocked processing then whats the hold up, its not happening to all machines, just some right? let me over-clock my computer and crank out some of the results i paid for. After this issue with the PC thats pretty much souring my satisfaction and amazon review for the product (yet it can be saved with a true and honest "Solved" at the end of these posts pertaining to such,.
To those of you who aren't having the problem with your G6 710, well something from somewhere is smiling upon you with butterflies and glittery rainbows. ill go ahead and give it a few more days with the amazon review before i give in and give myself up for abduction to Alienware.
Love,
