Nitro ANV15-51 SN:NHQQEEC00M42XXXXXXX, possible upgrades, BSOD, PSU bottleneck?

Vladasoo

Hi I am writing to find out a bit more about my device's compatibility. As far as I'm aware the 135W adapter is not enough, CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13620H GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 laptop. There are power caps, however when training models using CUDA(or playing hardware-intesive games) I sometimes run into BSOD's and I think I pinpointed the issue to the fact that my computer is power starved(i did not touch the power caps, 74W for gpu) - the battery is sometimes unable to supply enough wattage or is simply not fast enough in doing so, I would like to upgrade to a 230W adapter but can I do this? Is it compatible, the user manual doesn't state this, on multiple forums I found conflicting information. I know that I have to keep the voltage the same, are chargers like this fine? https://www.ebay.com/p/28050804830 https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Charger-Adapter-ADP-230GB-Compatible/dp/B0D6YB18RR

I would like an OEM adapter but couldn't find any.

The computer is still under warranty, I also want to add a second 16GB memory stick, this involves taking apart the computer a bit, but it is the first visible part after I unscrew it - will this terminate warranty??

Thanks a lot for the answer

Hi, did you update last month's released BIOS version 1.26 dated 2025/04/17, there are some power issues that have been addressed, yes you can use a 180-W power adapter for this laptop with the RTX 4060, but users that did that have not reported any improvement on the battery drainage or performance: Can I change my charger for Acer Nitro ANV15-51 — Acer Community upgrading RAM will not terminate the warranty as long as you don't strip the back cover screws and disconnect the battery before touching anything else.
