Windows 10: BSOD on Acer 5 with Windows 11

I have an Acer Aspire 5 laptop about a year and a half old. Running Windows 11. For most of it's life it was only used once a day to read the news using Chrome. Nothing else. It worked fine. I decided to start using it recently and every few days I would get the BSOD but only for a second or two. No time to read it or scan the QR code. I reinstalled Windows through the Acer backup on the laptop. So it is up to date. After several days it did it again. What do I do to find the problem?

Hi meakashi,

Welcome to the 10forums for both of you

I would suggest to visit Acer to update or re-install all the drivers available for Windows 10.
Re-installing drivers removes corruption what helps improving system stability.

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window.

 

Display Color Calibration NOT WORKING + Light Flickering Screen: Acer Aspire 5/Windows 11

Hi, average_windows_user

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



I understand that it can be frustrating to experience display color calibration issues and screen flickering on your new Acer laptop running Windows 11. Let's troubleshoot these issues step by step:

Display Color Calibration Issue:

1. Check Night Light Settings: Make sure that the Night Light feature in Windows 11 is turned off. The Night Light feature can cause a yellow tint on the display, and disabling it may improve the color balance.
   
2. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your specific model.
   
3. Reset Color Profile: Try resetting the color profile to its default settings. To do this, go to Settings > System > Display > Advanced display settings > Color calibration. Click "Reset calibration" to reset the color profile to its default settings.
   
4. Hardware Calibration: If the issue persists, it's possible that there may be a hardware-related problem with the display. Contact Acer support to inquire about hardware calibration or potential display issues.
   

Screen Flickering Issue:

1. Adjust Refresh Rate: Open the Display settings in Windows 11 and ensure that the refresh rate is set to the recommended value for your display. Setting it to a lower or higher value than recommended can cause screen flickering.
   
2. Disable Adaptive Brightness: Disable adaptive brightness in Windows 11. This feature can sometimes cause screen flickering. Go to Settings > System > Display, and turn off "Change brightness automatically when lighting changes."
   
3. Check for Driver Updates: In addition to graphics drivers, make sure that all other device drivers, especially display and chipset drivers, are up to date. Visit Acer's official website to download and install the latest drivers for your laptop.
   
4. Run Hardware Diagnostics: Use Acer's built-in hardware diagnostic tools to check for any hardware issues related to the display.
   

If the issues persist after trying these steps, I recommend reaching out to Acer support for assistance. They may be able to provide more specific guidance based on the nature of the issues and your laptop model.
