206435 2004-01-10 01:46:00 Our XP Home computer randomly crashes, and when looking in the system log there is always the following error just before the crash:

ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0xcfc), which lies in the 0xcf8 - 0xcff protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.

If I disable ACPI in the BIOS, windows does not load (it just freezes).

Have you done any mother board driver updates?

Have you run the system file checker?
