689720 2008-07-17 06:44:00 This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed onto a computer that supports ACPI. Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update or install Windows on an ACPI-compliant computer.

Am pretty sure I have this in my pc... Bios is a Phoenix Technologies 6.00 PG Can anyone help me?

689721 2008-07-17 06:48:00 You have to find out what the brand/model of your motherboard is.

And update the BIOS

• 2Mb Award BIOS with PnP, ACPI, SMBIOS 2 . 3, Green and Boot Block .

689725 2008-07-17 07:22:00 It may have it but as you said Windows doesnt support the version thats on it

It needs to be updated if there's an update

689726 2008-07-17 07:47:00 Seems that I have the updated drivers, any suggestions I should change in the BIOS? mark1978 (13845)
689727 2008-07-17 07:51:00 Find the BIOS update. Updating drivers probably wont help Speedy Gonzales (78)
689728 2008-07-17 08:10:00 I have installed the latest Bios, mark1978 (13845)
