I see... thanks for the detailed information! (and no need to call me sir, I'm not knighted haha)

That WhoCrashed info seems interesting, we're certain the graphic drivers are the ones causing the errors and the previous screenshot shows their version, so whatever we do, we should not install those. SDI would certainly try to install different drivers, give it a shot, the latest version is 1.19.9 (R1909) you'll find it attached to this post.

In case that didn't work, I'd ask for 1 thing: the hardware IDs of your video adapters (both of them, the integrated ones and the dedicated ones). You can get them off of the Device Manager, double clicking each and selecting the property "Hardware Ids" in the Details tab it'd be something like this:



After I know their IDs I could try making a Windows installation that already has drivers for those cards integrated, you'd then try to clean install Windows (again... ) using that image and see if it makes any difference. It's a shame when you can't get default drivers to work, after all they're supposed to be appropriate for the machine (and sometimes even enforced, installing newer drivers makes Windows Update revert back to the old ones). I'd blame AMD... but since each manufacturer sometimes make modifications to the hardware who knows... Still, the drivers Acer provides for that machine are quite dated , it's something not exclusive to Acer.

The manufacturer provided driver landscape is quite similar to what Android manufacturers do with their devices, they release one and for a little while you get updates and all (timeframe depends on whether it's a high-end device or not) and then they're left abandoned. No more updates, not even security ones; they just focus on the next product in line. It kind of gets me mad...

If at all possible, use Double Driver to make a driver backup of whatever drivers are now installed save for the graphic drivers and upload them somewhere too please (I'd integrate those as well, maybe not all but that'd cut down on the download afterwards).

In Double Driver the drivers that are ticket by default are the ones that do not come with Windows, i.e. the ones you installed afterwards. Make sure you un-tick the graphics ones (mine are Intel and NVIDIA made, but you know which your's would be they have the "Display" class ):



When backing up choose a zipped folder as output, it makes things easier to upload them afterwards and then we'll see.

If installing Windows using the image I'd provide also leads to BSODs and all... I'd say it's time to call Acer support and get them onboard. After all you'd tried their supplied drivers as well and they wouldn't work, they ought to know something about it.

While you're trying these other possibilities, you may want to contact ACER Philippines to see if you can get the original factory installation version USB or DVD. https://www.acer.com/ac/en/PH/content/service-contact or https://www.acer.com/ac/en/PH/content/support

That may be the fastest way to rule in or rule out a video adapter hardware failure.
