My acer aspire one is not having a problem and another acer with 17 inch 
screen, hdmi and ddr3 is not having a problem, I can't get at the model 
right now. You may have to fiddle with your bios, on a samsung I have to 
go to bios at boot, to boot device where I find what I want is at the 
top of the list and hit f10 and it then boots what I want.

Good luck.
