  • OK! Try uninstalling the video drivers in the device manager and restart the notebook:

    If the problem still remains, make sure that updating the drivers with the free version of the driverbooster solves the problem: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php#

  • Ok! Do a disk cleanup as an administrator and update the drivers with the driverbooster: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php#

    Then try upgrading directly to windows 1809: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=799445

    I already doing memtest but nothing happened
  • OK! I suggest you try updating the drivers with the free driverbooster version: https://www.iobit.com/en/driver-booster.php#
    If the problem still remains, I suggest you try reinstalling the factory operating system like this:

    Have anyone solved this problem? I'm facing with random BSOD from 1 month now without finding solutions.
    I tryed:
    - uninstal and reinstal all drivers
    - I talked with Windows support trying SFC scnanow ecp...
    - I talked with Acer Support, they sent my PC to assistance where they was not able to find problems; so Windows 1903 was reseted
    - I dowgrade Windows to 1809 (the only solution I found on web was to downgrade to 1803, but it is expiring now and Windows support said I will lose future upgrades if I will maintain it)
    - I tried to keep working only the integrated graphic card

    nothing seems to work... I'm really angry that between Geforce, Acer and Windows no one is taking this problem seriously and making some updates or solution to help us.
