PO3-655 Display went off and it says 'GPU died' in warranty

It appears that your RTX 4060 GPU has failed, indicated by the continuous long beep followed by two short beeps, which typically signals a hardware issue. Since the GPU is still under warranty, shipping it for repair or replacement is the correct course of action.

Warranty Process

1. Shipping Off for Warranty: As noted, the GPU will be shipped off for warranty service, which may take around two weeks.
2. Fresh OS Installation: Acer will perform a fresh installation of the operating system and wipe the drives, meaning you will need to reinstall all applications afterward.
3. Warranty Coverage: NVIDIA's warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures within three years from the purchase date. They will either repair or replace the defective product. So, you are lucky that this happens when are under under warranty.

Recommendations

• Backup Your Data: Ensure all important data is backed up before the OS wipe.
• Document Everything: Keep records of your communication with support and shipping details for future reference.

This situation is frustrating, but following the warranty process should lead to a resolution.

I understand your surprise at the GPU failure, especially since your Acer Predator Helios 300 is not used for gaming and is still in its first year of use. Even with light usage, hardware issues can sometimes occur within the warranty period.

The good news is that NVIDIA's warranty has you covered. Once the repair or replacement is complete, keep an eye on the GPU's performance and temperatures. Consider cleaning the laptop's cooling system regularly to prevent future issues.
While frustrating, GPU failures are not uncommon, even with light usage. The warranty process should resolve the problem and get you back up and running smoothly.

Sorry to hear that you had this problem with such a new desktop like the PO3-655, unfortunately you can't compare the old hardware with the new hardware's released today as and especially gpu's, the NVidia 30 series gpu's had problems with frying their auxiliary gpu plugs regularly and the new NVidia 40 series are only new and anything could be going wrong, especially from the manufacturers that build these gpus's, also remember that a desktop RTX4060 gpu is not an Acer product so its not Acer fault, so be aware of this also. I'm sure that Acer tech support will replace the appropriate faulty part(s) so that your PO3-655 desktop will perform for many years to come. Good luck/

Given that the problem persists despite these repairs, I believe it is necessary to send the GPU back for further inspection and resolution. The previous repair did not resolve the underlying issue. Explain them about previous repair and try again .
