Hello,

I had to install a new motherboard in my daughter's PC this weekend, an
Asus A7V8X-X, using a Duron 850 CPU we had in her previous motherboard
which went bad.

When I install XP Pro, I am getting a "STOP Error" saying that the "BIOS
is not fully ACPI compliant".

I've read the info on the error display about pressing F7, and was
wondering what the downside of doing that would be?

Also, I think (not sure, this whole day has been filled with this PC :()
I tried that F7 once, and I got another, different STOP error.

So far, I've also run a complete standalone memory test using DocMemory
from Simmtester.com, and I've also downloaded and flashed the BIOS to
the latest (Asus 1008), and set the BIOS to default settings.

Is anyone familiar with this problem, and in particular with it and Asus
motherboards? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Jim
