Vista ACPI non-compliance issue

Greetings,

I am attempting to upgrade from Windows XP Pro SP2 to Windows Vista Home
Premimum. When I incert the CD, Vista comes up with the message that my
computer is not ACPI compliant. I checked my bios settings, APCI is enabled,
so I assume for some reason it was not installed when I installed XP. I
checked the device manager and it was not. However, I attempted to reinstall
XP and I cannot for the life of me get ACPI to install. I tried pressing F5
during the raid driver installation and nothing happens.

How do I get my computer to install ACPI?

My motherboard is an NF550 Biostar Tforce 550. It's Windows Vista Certified
and APCI compliant.

Please help!

I'd check to see if there are any bios updates for the motherboard.
Obviously check if the mobo support site lists this as an issue also.

I've updated to the latest bios and still have the same ACPI issue. I've
attempted to run the install with 1 stick of RAM, no luck. The motherboard,
Tforce 550 SE is Vista Certified and should work.

I still cannot get vista installed. =(

ACPI Non-Compliance

Posted: 04-13-2007, 09:19 PM

I have the same issue trying to upgrade to Vista Home Basic from Win 2000 Pro... I have flashed the latest (as far as I can tell) BIOS from the ASUS website, and activated the APM features, including ACPI 2.0... still tells me my computer is non-compliant. I have an ASUS P4S800D-X motherboard. Anyone?

This simple here seems to be to boot from the Vista CD and install a 'CLEAN
COPY' of Vista - ok, you lose all your setting etc. and you'll need to
reinstall your programs, but this has cicumvented the ACPI issue ans so far
Vista has installed and is running without problems - but I will post if this
changes!
