Hi,

I have a AZZA 5VMX socket 7 motherboard, from what I've seen on the web this motherboard supports acpi but I dont have any option in bios :-\, windows 2000 & XP detects my pc as a standart pc, I've already tried 2 different bios, one from 1999 and another from 2000 none of them have any option about acpi.


Any suggestions?

I have already tried forcing acpi during windows 2000 / XP installation and the computer "freezes".

Strange... it's not even a hidden option.

Perhaps it gets enabled when you disable APM. Have you tried that?

Or it simply does not support ACPI. Many PC Chips boards (and some other too) were "ACPI Ready" according to the manual but there was no ACPI support in BIOS.

and as I can see it can't be added :-\
I edited my last post with some codes that I see when the computer boots up maybe they can give some info that I'm not seeing :-\

but more strange is that the manual have some referencies about ACPI, this is in the features of the motherboard, and in the bios section of the manual is a image where I can see a option that I dont have in the PNP/PCI CONFIGURATION.

PNP OS Installed : No
Resources Controlled By : Manual
Reset Configuration Data : Disabled
ACPI I/O Device Node : Enabled <- I dont have this option despite it is in the manual!

Does that image have a BIOS ID at the top of the window ?
