I have a 5750G too, and I am running SC2 on medium settings without any BSOD. It can also run on ultra and extreme settings, but I'm afraid to run for a long period of time because the CPU temp reaches 95+ deg C.

BTW guys, which cooling pad would you recommend for the 5750G?

I'm also using 5750G and running StarCraft 2 on ultra settings (1366x768) but with shadows and shaders lighting put to low. Getting an average 60 - 70 FPS, never encounter BSOD since the day I bought it.

variables.txt that files u need edit something.. got problem!

Thanks for the reply...

my driver is updated...temp does not go more than 75°C, Bios is updated and SC2 settings are set to lowest however the problems still persist. I tried playing Singularity and the same problem happens...

I have already set the max fps to 40 by inserting the following lines in variables.txt.
frameratecap=40
frameratecapGlue=30

However, I still see the temp reach 95 deg C at medium settings! I'm planning to go to Low Yat Plaza tomorrow to buy the Zalman NC2000 cooling pad.
Any other recommendations, guys?

CoolerMaster U3.cheaper than Zalmann Nc2000

If you ignore the cost, which one can cool the 5750G better --- Zalman NC2000 or Cooler Master U3?

Added on July 3, 2011, 6:44 amI had already decided to buy the Zalman NC2000 --- but I couldn't find it in Low Yat. All the shops said they were out of stock. They only had the Zalman NC 1000 and 1500. So I bought the Cooler Master U3.

Results:
Using my previous cheap cooling pad: Max Temp = 98 deg C
Using the Cooler Master U3: Max Temp = 85 deg C

Yea.its a cheaper alternative to Zalman NC2000.And its quite efficient too.
The pad doubled as the laptop cover if u remove the fan.

OK, I finally got my laptop back (2nd time already). I was one of those encountering nvlddmkm.sys BSODs when playing games.

According to the report, they seem to have changed the whole motherboard. I am still yet to check and see if it's true.

But I want to be more careful this time. I suspect that my GPU died because of too much heat the last time. I am looking for a cooling pad and want to buy a Zalman one.

Is NC1000 big enough for the 5750G or do I need to go for NC2000? Or the NC2500? NC3000S?

How do you know if your GPU died? Have you tried playing any games to verify that everything is okay after the service?

But I think your laptop should be fine now after the change of the motherboard.

Being more precise, I suspect the VRAM. OCCT VRAM Memtest gave me thousands of errors when ran simultaneously along Prime95 and FurMark. I would also get a nvlddmkm.sys BSOD when playing games (with random delay).

I did not verify it yet, the laptop came back on Friday.

Anyway, I went to a computer store (not the one in which I bought my 5750G - I bought it online) and the clerk advised me not to buy any cooling pad. He said it would be better to use the laptop normally and let the GPU overheat and die again. He said that sending it for repair of the same part for the 3rd time will give me more customer rights and I should be able to enforce unit swap or full refund with the help of State Inspection of Trade.

However, I still hope that this motherboard will prove fine and it will not happen again. But the GPU temperature still hits 96 degrees though so who knows...

go for NC2000.NC1000 barely fit the laptop

They already did change the mobo+GPU.

So far it SEEMS (I may be wrong) to be OK. But nobody knows for how long it will...

buy those aluminum cooler.i u use ur laptop for gaming it is a must to prevent it from overheating.
You can follow what the shop tell you but there is no guarantee when it will go kaput.If it goes kaput after ur warranty expire u r the one who lose the most.

I bought it in May so I pretty much have around 10 months of warranty more. I did not pay for a laptop that isn't going to work the way I want it.

10months is not a long time bro.even if u abused the laptop there is no guarantee it will goes kaput in a short time.
but u can always gamble.

Hello so far i already had this laptop for 6 months. i din encounter any BSOD, but my pc is extremely boot up slow. it's take like 10 mins i tried like registry cleaner and remove all the startup program only left like msn.
it's still slow boot up , any bro encounter this?

Just wondering if your laptop is first or second batch? Blue or black?

Did you encounter freeze or you have to wait very long at the windows 7 loading screen with the four colourful dots (which forms a Windows 7 logo)?

My Acer Aspire 5750G is working fine now. Boot time is around 1 minute.

Try Run --->> MSCONFIG --->> Click STARTUP --->> Uncheck some programs at start up

hi thanks bro for the reply,

mine is first batch balck , it can log in to window desktop but when it's there it's stuck for quite long and i already uncheck almost all the start up program.

wondering wat went wrong.. sigh4

First batch which is black has a lot of other problems besides having BSOD during gaming. Just an advice. Send it to the Acer service centre, and claims your warranty. Ask them to change the motherboard...definitely fix your problem
