Re: ACPI BIOS Errors

First off, Malke , Thank you for your answers. Any help is better than none.
I did forget to mention that my "good" SATA Seagate Barracuda took a crap in
the middle of all of this, so I had to reformat my old ide barracuda to fill
the gap while waiting. Second, John John (MVP), that sounds like really sage
advice, but how is that done? I have looked all over in this bios and can't
see anything even close to that. I know I am prolly over looking something
that's why boards like this are a godsend. You get so far into what is wrong
that you can't see the answer right under your nose. lol. Thanx in advance

This is the error message that I get:
AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to create an illegal memory OpRegion, starting
at address oxffff0000, with a length of 0x10000. This region lies in the
Operating system's protected memory address range (0x100000000 -
0x130000000). This could lead to system instability.
Geez, you think??? Maybe that's why those BSOD's keep happening.
Backstory... Replaced Intel dual- core processor and mobo with DG31PR mobo
and Core 2Duo Quad Q6700. Put 4gb RAM on the board, dual channel, nothing but
probs. Running XP Pro sp3. Flashed the BIOS on the first board, no change.
Second board is already at newest BIOS rev. All suggestions I see are saying
it is a BIOS prob, but not according to Intel. Actually, they won't even
answer my emails anymore. Can someone help? Oh, btw... I have an X-FI
Fatality Gamer sound card. Works great... when it works. It gets uninstalled,
or at least stops working, regularly. When you go to device manager, it has a
yellow bang, but it is still listed. The only way to get it back is uninstall
ALL software for it, uninstall the sound card, and then reinstall the whole
mess. I have switched the PCI slots. Geforce 8600gt is PCI-E so there's only
2 PCI slots to try. I can think of 2 slots at Intel and Creative I would like
to stick it in :)

Check for a 4GB memory hole in the BIOS options and enable it. Being
that the board is populated with a full 4GB of RAM and that you are
using a Windows 32-bit client operating system you must open a hole for
the hardware devices in the lower 4GB arena and allow the BIOS to shift
some of the RAM addresses above the 4GB barrier. One way to test this
would be to pull some of the RAM out and leave about 2GB on the board
and see if the error persists.
