  • Yay, found a way to speed it up, well, not really. I bought a cheap all in one pc off of an auction site (seperate pc part and screen attached by vesa), upgraded the graphics card in it to use DVI, I already had an adapter (DVI to HDMI) and now use the acer as its screen. I removed screen on the cheap pc and then attached…
  • I just ran a test on youtube 4k video here 4k youtube video On the Z1-621 set to 2160p, normal screen stuttered and on full screen a lot worse. I then loaded a live linux dvd (chaletos) and did the same test and the video performance was a lot better with the same settings. Linux on a live dvd is always slower than when…
  • Hi, I have just bought one also, very dissapointingly slow for a quad core 4gb ram pc. No wonder PCWorld UK are selling them off at a supposedly lower price. Its just a big tablet in essence. Lets hope acer roll out some kind of upgrade or fix to speed them up a bit, they should be faster than they are, unless its the…

While searching the net I came across a forum that said to do the following for the bios - 1) enable "Launch CSM" in the boot section 2)Disable "secure boot control" Low and behold, my PC is now firing up a DVD from of the DVD drive.…

Now it says "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in device and press any key", it simply repeats when any key is pressed. So,…
  • Makes not a jot of difference I'm afraid, still the same. Says "disk checking", runs through then stalls. Apart from having the bios visible (which does not seem to be working as it is set for DVD and ignores it), not a lot is different. Everything still seems to be timing out, no disk movement. Disk check has run through…
  • Pressed alt+F10 and get to the select keyboard, then the following choices, BUT, no matter what I choose the screen then freezes. Tried to get to cmd prompt but when it opens, I cannot enter anything into it. Everything seems to time out just when you think you are getting somewhere :-(
  • Hi, Thanks for the reply. I have manged with your help to return the bios but that is all. I have had various screens stating "repairing" "please wait" etc but then it stalls. I cannot load anything via the dvd drive either, windows or linux. even when set to boot from DVD drive. Still I think the video signal is not…
