  • Hey there. HAL here… …Good morning Dave… I have a slightly older model Predator, and I've experienced the same thing you are describing, even while NOT gaming, though it has occured while gaming once or twice. I've had this problem more than once, but the error codes can be very different with each itteration. First, you…

  • I might go with you on that. But there are other concerns. I looked over my board, did some measuring. !.5 is the thickness you need. However, I'm going to retract on the depth problem. There are a couple of more fragile components that may require less pressure, hence the indents, and there are a few solid ones that…

  • First, you would have to open up the casing to find out if there is an extra SATA header. If there is, but there is no secondary board attatched to it, where that drive bay would go (many of the boards have the header\plug, but it's upside down and not close enough to the bay; so they used a small extension board to make…
    in I bought the Predator 17 G5-793-79SG and it has no cd Drive or Frostcore Comment by HAL2020 August 2021
  • To clarify, if you are going to put on new pads, you only need buy enough 0.5mm to cover, though you will have to put some of it one atop another. You could also buy 1mm and 0.5mm, same situation. Personally, I would like 1mm distance all around. I'm starting there with some really good padding, some 1mm, some 0.5mm.…

  • I will chime in here. I've been needing to replace these as heatups keep knocking my system into a restart. You'll find some areas indented on the metal about 0.5mm. I'd use 1.5 mm on those, going from your photo. (I'll mark where I can and upload later). There are also some areas upraised. You'll need 0.5mm on those. The…

  • Just so you get the idea... ...Double shot bugs out when you are on two of the SAME NETWORK. You need to set up two separate networks going to the same gateway, that way you have 2 different IP addresses, and it "Sees" two connections. If the new suite doesn't work well with your cards, use the older one. Newer software…
    in How to update the Killer DoubleShot Pro? Comment by HAL2020 August 2021
  • There are usually 2 LAN drivers (LAN is "Local Area Network" which is usually the network inside your main router; think of it like a gated community, the router is the gatekeeper and weak security guard; over wireless, you put your messages in the mail drone and they fly away to the gate, then are redirected to one of…
    in How do I fix the issue with my Killer Wireless Network Adaptor that keeps disconnecting? G9-591 Comment by HAL2020 August 2021
  • Alright lads and lassies, you're all pretty... ...Pretty smart and pretty funny at the same time. There are legitamate reasons for RAID SSD. Some of us work with video and 3d, requiring fast, large, replaceable space. The faster the better. Using RAID, applications run faster, they output data faster and a little extra…
    in How to remove raid 0 on an acer predator G9-593? Comment by HAL2020 July 2021
  • I had problems with my Predator G9-791ce. First the battery started to have problems. It was right after the ill fated windows update, and I tested my batt only to find it's data interface dead as a dornail. Reconnected the batt, plugged power, disabled the battery controller in the device manager. Soon, fans were running…
