I know a lot of people is suffering with this kind of suffering I also suffer. 
Acer Aspire 3 A315-41G Series powered by AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors with both AMD Radeon RX Vega Series and the Discrete AMD Radeon 53X Series modified and added by Acer has Graphic driver issues.
1. Windows sometimes or maybe all the times gets a bluescreen due to the graphic driver issues provided (graphic driver) by Acer itself.
2. Whenever people do fullscreen tasks, movies, or games. Screen changes from a colorful view to an annoying blue or yellow visual pollution.
3. Whenever people do fullscreen/maximize applications, eg. AutoCAD and other softwares. The screen freezes, not just the screen but also the application freezes and resulting a graphics driver/hardware to halt/error and/or bluescreen.
4. Due to Microsoft's (fault) and Windows itself. From build Windows 10 Build 1709/1803, AMD Radeon Settings process spams like crazy, multiplying itself relentlessly by executing itself so on and so forth, and ate all the Memory(RAM) and the HDD usage of the entire laptop like there's no tomorrow. Which result to an annoying lags/hangs/freezes. (This problem can appear when you use Restart, You can Fix this using "shutdown.exe" commands and not using Restart button provided on the start power options.)
5. Lastly, Acer, Please Kindly Update your Graphic Drivers for these Aspire 3 Ryzen Mobile Series. Since customers using these Laptops cannot update (our) drivers using the updated drivers provided by AMD (amd.com) itself. Since, AMD provide drivers only for graphic cards/chips. Which, You(Acer) provides not only the Graphic Driver update but also the OEM hardware updates.
Thank you so much and please consider our creed.
Best Regards,

Is it driver version 17.40.3601.1004 ? The reason I ask is because that is probably not the driver that your machine shipped with. So, again, do you have a rollback option available? Jack E/NJ

The reason I am opening this thread is to make Acer know that their provided driver fails. And if there's any news or update when their new drivers be released to the public to fix this problem.0 -

OK. You already know the cause. Be patient. ACER will probably try to fix the mess the Win10 updates have created. Takes time. Jack E/NJ

Is there a new update on this?DarrellCayas said:UP with this issue. I'm also suffering on this graphic driver issue, hopping acer will solve this as soon as possible.
For this kind of problem. I somehow fixed the graphic card issues around 25% of the current issue by using another driver.
Note: This somehow still just fell inside the Radeon Settings 17.7. You can update it and it is compatible for those Who have AMD Vega Graphics with Radeon 535 Graphics using Radeon Settings 17.7 (OEM) itself. I will help you how I got it working properly for the mean time. [Sadly, We can't update it to the Latest version somehow. I was trying to make an Updated Modded Driver but I'm not great with coding. XD]
These steps will help you go through the Process.
First and foremost do it at your own risk. So, Follow the steps properly and trust me.
Step One:
Download this Graphic Driver through my OneDrive
(AMD Ryzen Processor Graphic.7z)
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmboCbw1UY2UgUIQ7QNANL1MuguI
Step Two:
Extract it on any Folder you can Access Easily (Desktop most probably)
Step Three: (Sentou Kaishi)
Go to Windows Settings
Step Four:
Select Update & Security
Step Five:
Select Recovery
Step Six:
On Advance Startup
Click Restart
Step Seven:
Press Startup Settings
*If you can't see it on first Selection
**Click More Recovery Options at the Bottom of the Selection
Step Eight:
(After Restart)
Press F4/Enable Safe Mode
Step Nine:
(When you are already in your Windows Interface)
Press Windows Key + X (to Open Power User Menu)
Step Ten:
Select Device Manager
Step Eleven:
Expand Display Adapters
Step Twelve [A]: Overlapping Drivers
Right Click on Any of the Adapters [Select on Whether its Vega Graphics or the Radeon 535 Graphics (Just one adapter would update both)]
Select Update Driver
Note: You can also uninstall the Drivers first. For More Neat Installation
Step Twelve [B (Optional)]: Uninstalling Current Driver
Right Click on Any of the Adapters (Whether its Vega 3 or So and the Radeon 535 Graphics)
Select Uninstall Driver (Both Vega and Radeon 535 drivers must be uninstalled)
Tick Delete the driver software for this device
Click Uninstall
Step Twelve [B (Optional)]: Continuation
Press F5 (to Refresh the Components)
*Expand Display Adapters and it would show Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (This is your Vega Graphics)
**Remember Installing driver on one adapter would install on both adapters
Step Thirteen: Installation
After selecting Update driver
Select Browse my Computer for driver software
Browse
And Select the AMD Vega Series + Radeon 535 folder you have extracted
And click Next
(After driver Installation, Restart your Laptop)
Bonus Step (Optional):
(on Normal Boot Windows after Restart)
Open the Extracted folder (AMD Vega Series + Radeon 535)
Open B330055 folder
Select/Find ccc2_install.exe
Double click to Install
After Installation Close the Installer Window
Then do Restart
***This would activate the Radeon Settings Notification Icon
[Hurray! Screen bugs like Screen Display Discoloration will be fixed.]
(Question: Why not do the driver installation while it's on Normal Mode Windows than Safe Mode? Answer: There's a probability that it cannot Install the driver properly. Instead it will restart your laptop unexpectedly. Which can interrupt Driver installation. Acer bugs fault.)

My Aspire 3 Laptop has been with me for 2 weeks already and I've been so disturbed by this yellowish thing 'til now. My question is that is it possible to change the display of my laptop from TN to IPS?
I am actually using my laptop for photo-editing purposes but I really need a display that will not show pale colors.
So is it possible to change it from TN to IPS? Does it affect the warranty?0 -
>>>So is it possible to change it from TN to IPS? Does it affect the warranty?
Yes, this model was also available with IPS screens with these part numbers
KL.1560E.011
KL.1560G.001
KL.1560G.002
KL.1560G.003
However, I'd probably try to return the machine to the vendor to exchange it for a model with one of the IPS screens already installed from the factory. It will probably cost more.

And how much do the following IPS LCD Dsiplays screen you've mentioned above usually cost?0 -
Since an IPS-equipped A315-41G will cost more, the vendor might make an exception to the 7-day return merchandise limit. You must ask the vendor. Price for an ips module is between $150-200 USD or ₱7500-10000 Jack E/NJ
