    Solved! Problems with Acer display. Occasionally won't turn on, randomly changes resolution to impossibly low settings, etc.

    Ok so if anyone is also having the same problem, I found a (temporary?) solution. I went ahead and disabled the Nvidia graphics card all together. Since then it has worked perfectly fine. It seems to be solved. I decided to then turn the intel off and nvidia on, and same result; worked fine...

    Hello, thank you for your response. I reinstalled the nVidia drivers but that did not help. I then tried safemode but I soon realized you cannot put your computer to sleep or hibernate in safemode.

    Hello all, I am having some problems with my Acer laptop. It is model SF315-51G-51CE and is relatively new (released in 2017, purchased in fall 2017, so it is turning 2 years now). It is running windows 10 OS build 17134.1006 The problem: It started months ago, occasionally if I closed the...
