Hello All,
I have the following laptop:
Acer Aspire 5750G
Intel i5-2430M (Sandy Bridge)
Acer JE50_HR, V1.21 dated 08/09/2012
Intel Sandybridge Rev09
Souhbridge Intel HM65 rev B2
Samsung 850 evo 256Gb SSD
2x Corsair CMSX16GX3M2A1600C10 Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL10
I understand my BIOS is a Insyde H20 and version 3.5 according to the BIOS screen
Original BIOS links
The original bios comes in 1.16 1.17 and 1.21, the Acer website based on serial number does not show versions 1.19 and 1.21.
1.21 link is:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...SC=EMEA_27
1.17 link is:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...SC=EMEA_27
1.16 link is:
http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/...SC=EMEA_27
The only BIOS link I have seen is the Akbar 1.19 and 1.20 and 1.21 but most of these links are dead and people are complaining of their fan not working or other issues like stuck after saving changes etc.
What I Want
All I want is to RUN 16GB on my laptop and exploit any performance or battery improvements, currently both Windows and BIOS only read 8gb (one slot of the RAM) and at that, it shares this with the onboard graphics card.
I hope someone can recommend me a way to achieve the above, even if it means flashing a unlocked BIOS as long as there are no serious issues like overheating GPU or CPU because fan control is not working (dont want to install a third part s/w to correct the fan control).
Thanks to whoever will help me in the end
