Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2006 4:49 pm
Hello,
Does anyone here own an intel 850e chipset motherboard or know of any BIOS updates to be compatible with vista?
I get the message when installing Vista on my new motherboard:
"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."
How do i fix this ACPI compliant message?
Thanks for your time.
