Updating drivers

CatMau6 · November 24, 2015

I recently upgraded my Acer Iconia Tab 8W to windows 10 but i didn't liked, so i went back to windows 8 and now the screen is going on and off all the time. I sent an email to acer and they sent me the graphics drivers, but i don't know how to install them. I can't install them directly in the tablet. Could someone help me please?

is there a way you can get this device into a safe mode or it blinks the screen from the start?

It blinks from start and when i enter into the bios, it doesn't allow me to boot in safety mode. I was wondering if there was any way to install them by plugging the tablet into an other computer.

you would be able to move the files (probably assuming you don't need to unlock the tablet to transfer files) but would not be able to actually install them.

does your tablet have a keyboard or is it just the tablet? if it has a keyboard you ca ntry spamming F8 while turning it on to get to the advanced boot menu.

If it does not doing something similar to this http://www.tomshardware.com/faq/id-1653275/fix-irql-equal-error-windows.html would need to be done to access your device at all using a sd card or something similar with a copy of windows on it to launch the repair option and install the new drivers (this Applies to both windows 8 and 10 im pretty sure)

I'm still looking around I'll let you know if i find anything.

EDIT: Don't worry about the bluescreen crap on that guide i link only look at the creating bootable repair disk part it was the best one i could find.
