Hello,

I have an Acer V5-573G Laptop from 2013 or smth.

My Problem is that my Laptop is Always shutting down after exact 30 minutes and I think it has something to do with ME.
I can't find it in my Device Manager and I am not able to install it from the Acer Driver Site.

That platform is not ready or something.

I have Bios version 2.30
Intel core i5-4200U
Haswell Ult
Socket 1168BGA

What should I do now? I am a complete noob. I am sorry.

Hi,

what Kind of Information do you guys Need to help me?

Processor = E3-1200 v3 Intel (R) 4th Generation / Intel (R) 8 Series, C220 Series

I have the newest available Bios and newest Chipset Driver.
ME Always had a triangle on my Device Manager and i think it got corrupted because it isn't there anymore, i tried different Things, updating bios, different chipset Driver, reinstall Windows 10 and also old versions like 8.1, different ME Version but Nothing happens. I can't even install ME anymore.

:(

Thanks for the Reply!

When I open the tool, it says "- Press any key to continue -" but when I press something, It just Pops up more commands and after typing something again, the Tool shuts down.

The error log says "Error 200: Invalid parameter value specified by user. Use -? option to see help."


I´ve downloaded this "Intel ME System Tools v9.5 r6 - (2018-07-31) For 8-series systems which run ME v9.5"

I don't know if I did it correct but it says now: Error 75: "fparts.txt" file not found.

Screenshot attached

I did but it gives the same error.

Thank you, now it works.... haha

thank you, I understand a bit.
If you have the Utility for 2014, you can send it to me if you want. There is no Risk at all. When I can't fix it, I would throw the Laptop in the garbage, I used it for 7 years or so and trying to solve the 30 minute Problem since 1-2 weeks. I wasted enough time.

Thank you, but it doesn't work. I can double click, it opens a window and then shuts down after a second, so something happend.


when I use the -d spi.bin command:

Error 26: The host CPU does not have read access to the target flash area. To enable read access for this operation you must modify the descriptor settings to give host access to this region.

i found this Point (E5) in my Bios "Me FW Image Re-Flash" and enabled it but the "-d spi.bin command" gives the same error as before.
