Hello. I updated bios on my A315-41G from 1.15 to latest 1.17 and it bootloops when powered from the battery. It works about 10 secs and reboots. From this state it can only be turned off by battery disconnection (hole on the bottom). 
When powered from PSU, everything works fine.

    Nope. I've done exactly what you said right now and It didn't help. 
  • Has a new feature been added to the bios functions? Can you send some screenshots of the bios settings?

    I found exactlty the same problem as mine. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/599033/acer-aspire-3-a315-41-constantly-restarting-if-started-without-charger-after-update-to-bios-1-17#latest
    Done everything mentioned at the thread, nothing worked. 
    I am 99.9% sure that it is new bios broblem.
    Maybe, i have to explain the situation more detailed. When i power on the laptop with no charger and go straight to bios it does not reboot while I'm in bios. When the laptop attempts to load the OS the reboots start. If i go to bios straight after another reboot it reboots even while I'm in bios.

    Official Acer website says 
    "1. Add RTC Reset in SCU Item. 2. Improve system hang on PSP."

    All my bios settings are default now, except for function key are turned from media keys to function keys (also tried with absolutely default settings, not a single was changed and the result was the same). 
    Here are my bios screenshots:

    Also tried to disable fast boot. Didn't help.
  • disable real time clock reset in bios!

  • Disable the real time clock reset in bios and click save and shut down. Then perform the battery reset again:

    Disabled clock reset, saved, performed battery reset. The problem persists.
  • OK! Disable the real time clock reset, turn off the computer and press the power for 30 seconds.

    Nothing happened after these 30 seconds. Turned on the laptop (after pressing power button for 30secs) without charger - only black screen (backlight is on) and bootloop. Even no Acer logo. 
    Connected the charger and the laptop booted as normal.
    The problem with booting without charger is still present.
  • OK! Access windows and disable fast startup in the power options. Then, change the slot rams memories. If that doesn't work and if you know how to open the notebook, turn off the notebook and disconnect the lition battery and the rtc battery to reset the bios parameters.

    Disabling windows options didn't help.
    I do not have tools to open the notebook. I reseted bios settings from bios itself and it didn't help.
    Look, everything was fine before bios update. It is obviously something wrong with 1.17 for a315-41g. 
    Guy with the same problem tried to fix the problem by changing the windows settings, but it didn't help. We both have the same laptop and the same bios version. (https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/599033/acer-aspire-3-a315-41-constantly-restarting-if-started-without-charger-after-update-to-bios-1-17#latest)
    How can I contact Acer to tell them that something is wrong with 1.17?

  • I have already contacted some moderators. Try to see if changing the slot rams memories, if the problem is solved. it is a procedure that does not breach the warranty:

    Sorry, but there a screw on that cap and I don't have a screwdriver with me right now. I'll wait for fixed version of 1.17

    Make one last try:
    a) disable fastboot in bios;
    b) create a password on the setsupervisorpassword and disable secureboot;
    c) disable real time clock reset again and press f10 to save and exit.

    None of it helped.
  • ok! If you are willing to check this out:
