    During the first boot after a fresh start the display, such as the Acer Logo seems a bit dim (-5% brightness), while if I restart the Win 7, after the next startup the display already has the standard brightness. And even the cinedash controller's light is dim, like if the whole computer would run on auxillary power instead of full power, but when I press the Hold button, the white color of that one is bright again. Does anyone know what may cause this?

    P.S.: I recently updated my Acer 8930 with the v1.21 BIOS, however I don't believe that this would be the problem as this glitch is appearing only in the last two days, while the BIOS update was about two weeks ago.
