Bios not fully acpi compliant

I can't get past a blue screen (BSOD) which states ...The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant... I've researched this site and the web and can't find an answer that works. I'd like to try to update the BIOS since it's the original and there are 2 newer versions but they appear to require windows to run and I can't boot into windows. My system is:
HP Pavilion Elite Desktop m9340f
Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz
6 GB RAM (2x2GB+2x1GB)
Asus IPIBL-LB "Benicia" Motherboard
BIOS 5.25 dated 6/16/2008
Windows Vista 64bit
This is how far I get:
Windows is loading files...
Microsoft Corporation flashes then BSOD
Here's what I've tried so far:
F8
Advanced Boot Options:
"Repair Your Computer" tries to start window, get BSOD
"Safe Mode" "Loading Windows Files" then BSOD
F9 HP Diagnostics works OK and all hardware checks out OK
F10 Setup mode, I've changed the SATA1 controller from RAID default to IDE and AHCI with same results
F11 Recovery (tries to get into windows and get BSOD)
Tried recovery using recovery DVDs with the same results when it tries to load windows
Tried Windows 7 upgrade disk with same results
Removed all RAM and tried one stick at a time with same results
Installed HD in USB dock and have run chkdsk (no errors), MSE virus scan (no issues)
Ran System File Checker sfc /scannow which resulted in this statement "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" I couldn't find any details in the CBS.log file
Tried clean HD (SSD) to recover to with same results
Reseated video card (same results)
Removed video card and ran off onboard video with same results
Reset BIOS to defaults
Cleared CMOS with jumper
I think I've exhausted about all I can think of and find online. Any ideas on how to flash the BIOS would be appreciated.

L505D-S5965 BIOS not fully ACPI compliant

Okay, I tried to reply to "BIOS Update Failure Satellite L505D-S5965" since my issue is similar and I have the same model, but that issue is closed so it wouldn't let me.
A couple weeks ago I was picking up my laptop and it slipped out of my fingers ad fell. Only about 6 - 8 inches, but it landed at an awkward angle. It immeadiatly started making a sound that made me think I had damaged the hard drive (a noisy whiring noise). I unplugged it and pulled the battery out immeadately. When I rebooted it, Vista never loaded fully, (I got a "Windows is loading files" but never a logo). I get a BSOD that reads
The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for an updated BIOS.
STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00001000, 0x00000000, 0x96408500, 0x00000100)
The laptop has not booted since. Ever since, I get the option to attempt to boot Windows normally or go into Windows Startup Repair but it won't respond to the keyboard to let me choose which, and after 25 seconds attempts to boot into Windows Startup Repair, which gives me the same BSOD.
I can punch F2 to enter BIOS or F12 to enter Boot Manager, but the system doesn't responcd to keyboard in either.
I swapped the hdd into another laptop, which booted sucessfully.
A known good hdd installed in this system gives same BSOD.
I removed the hdd and booted off a recovery disc, which yeilded the same BSOD.
I attempted to flash BIOS off a USB as described in the above mentioned post, and it never worked. It looks like it never accessed the flash drive. The BIOS version is the most current available according to Toshiba, 1.5
If I remove the HDD and don't have a Recory disc in the DVD drive, I get:
"PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
This is the same with the BIOS flash drive or without.
I managed to disconnect the CMOS battery, upon booting the next time it recognized that power from CMOS had been interupted, but didn't change any other behavior.
So, do we think that my problem is physical damage, or did I do something interupting power? I have a parts laptop, so would the damage be, is it something I could swap (parts computer doesn't power off battery or AC, no lights, brick)
Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next?

First, let's try a system reset. Power off the notebook, unplug everything from it including the AC, remove the battery, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, next replace the battery and the AC, then power on, as soon as you see the Toshiba logo press 'F2' to enter BIOS setup, in setup try to press 'F9' to load setup defaults, press 'F10' to save and exit. If the keyboard still won't work in setup to press 'F9' and 'F10', try this operation again, with an external keyboard.
Assuming you can complete this operation, but it still does not resolve your problem, try powering off, remove the AC and battery, then try removing both RAM modules, next replace one module in a different slot, replace the battery and AC, and try it again. Repeat as necessary to try to find a bad RAM module and/or bad slot. See page 52 of your Satellite® L500 Series User’s Guide on how to access and remove RAM modules.
Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Satelite L505D BIOS not fully ACPI compliant.

I can get into the boot menu and the setup but the keyboard wont work after that. I have the BIOS fix but can't do anything wiith it without a keyboard.

This is stupid, I am having the same problems with my satellite, I bought my satellite at a PX in Iraq in 2009, the warranty was done by the time I got home. Shortly after I got home this BIOS and keyboard thing started happening. I have another Sattellite I bought in 2003 in Bagdad, Iraq and it needs a freaking BIOS password. I have 2 laptops from Toshiba now that are useless that I need the information off of. In both instances toshiba wants me to pay for both repairs, even though the only time I got to use them was in Iraq. They won't fix them and according to everyone else in these forums they aren't fixing theirs either( they all have the same problems with the BIOS, sounds like toshiba needs a recall). Theres $1200.00 right down the drain.

Lenovo G50 BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant

Hello everybody !
I kinda have a problem as the title states.My neighbour has a Lenovo G50 she bought and came with windows 8.1 x64 ( which she doesn't like at all and in my opinion win7 is far more superior ). The thing is I wanted to install her the Windows 7 Ultimate but everytime the " loading files " ends right after it boots from the dvd I get a bsod with the message " The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant Stop 0x000000A5 "
I tried all kind of different settings through the bios, changed from UEFI boot to Legacy / disabled secure boot / fast boot / I set the ACHI to compatible / but the end result is almost the same ( two times with different settings my screen froze with a red line over the top after loading the files )
My question is what is the problem and is there a fix for it? (of course it is,but I don't know it )
Thanks !

"Not fully ACPI Compliant" error message in BIOS when installing Vista 64-bit

When I try to install Vista 64 Ultimate I get this message after the initial black and white loading bar screen: "cannot install because the BIOS in this sytem is not fully ACPI compliant"
Board: 975X Platinum V.2 "20th Anniversary Edition"
Board Bios: 7.8 (tried to install 7.9 but failed (usb flash and msi online)
CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400
Memory: 2X2GB A-Data Dual Channel
Tried many solutions from other forums but didn't worked (disabling/enabling >> usb, parallel-game, acpi, apm) also tried with ps2 keyboard only., also with only 1 stick of ram....but nothing worked....
What the heck is going on?
I'm currently running XP SP3 perfectly, but I wanted to upgrade to Vista 64 and buy another 4gb of ram, etc.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

IT WORKED!!!
After the upgrade to the 7.9 BIOS, everything went smoothly.
Thanks guys you rock!!!
NOTE: I've read so many posts here from members and mods recommending to NOT flash the BIOS unless is inminent...I guess is good advice, but on the MSI website, the only new feature they mention about the 7.9 update is: "Add USB storage bootable function"....but then again, the update fixed my problem (read first post). So you never know...

KM4M-V not XP ACPI Compliant

I have read many threads about getting my new KM4M-V to be ACPI compliant as advertised in the product details page eg:
VIA® VT8237 Chipset
- Integrated Direct Sound AC'97 audio.
- Dual channel Ultra DMA 33/66/100/133 master mode EIDE controller.
**** - ACPI & PC2001 compliant enhanced power management. *****
The problem is I cannot shut down the computer without making it a non ACPI compliant Standard PC and then installing NT Apm/Legacy Interface Node. But when pressing the power button on my case nothing will happenj(it should shut down) and there is no option choices for system standby, or when the power button is pressed.
This is not good enough. The motherboard is advertised as being ACPI compliant but mine is not.
IPCA function is enabled in Bios which is I am told is the same as ACPI but reversed spelling? LOL
Another issue is the current 1.2GHZ Thunderbird CPU does not show in Bios temp (n/a) and in windows based temp programs it shows as
-71c. Thats right below zero -71. Its not overclocked at all and windows with games runs stable. I plan to buy an XP2600+ cpu in 5 days and maybe its just my old cpu is the problem there so I will overlook it for now.
All I want is the motherboard to work as advertised being ACPI compliant and have one of the following show in sytem device manager/Computer;
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC or ACPI Uniprocessor PC.
Is it too much to ask? I have tried to force ACPI compliantcy and XP wont boot without hal.dll being in windows/system32. A renamed Halaacpi.dll or Halacpi.dll of course does not work. I have the current bios installed, tried to clear the cmos and even reinstal XP and pressing F5 to choose PC type manually but only 2 options are available 1: Standard PC with C-Step i486 or 2: Other / Insert manufacturers disk. Is there a manufacturers floppy disk? In the box all I have is the raid one.
Sorry for the long post but I have tried to explain fully so a learnerd mind has all the facts or most thereof.
Thanks for any help.

Yes the power button holding for 5 seconds does turn it off after the "It is now safe to turn off" Error message as seen in the microsoft link.
Bios is set to defaults trying fail safe and optimized. My first post mentiond I cleared the cmos.
14a 25a 12a PSU
APCI has NOTHING to do with RAM mate it is a function of only the motherboard. Even the power supply has nothing to do with ACPI.
There has to be something else.
I have another system here with Abit KV8PRO-3rdeye and Athlon 64 3000+ with Gainward 6600GT. It runs a 400w power supply in a cheap case with no problems at all. It shows ACPI Uniprocessor PC in XP system devices and shuts down as it should.
I can only think it is this MSI board having this problem. Why not have ACPI power management listed in the Bios? It has a IPCA function enabled which is ACPI spelled backwards. why is it that??

Help! BIOS not fully recognizing system devices

Hi. I am building a new computer with 512mb DDR generic RAM, MSI K7N2 Delta-ISLR, Athlon XP2500+, Maxtor 120gb hard drive, TDK VeloCD cd-rw drive. My problem is that
1-The Bios does not fully recognize the cd drive but instead garbles the name with slashes. Needless to say it will not read from the drve either.
2-The Bios fails to recognize the floppy drive at all and claims it is not there.
Both components are confirmed working in another computer. I'm at my wit's end; the only thing I could possibly think of are the cables, but then I was using the floppy drive cable successfully elsewhere and the cd drive cable is brand new. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong??

sorry got carried away with the 5's and the little dots.
15 Amps on the 12v is a bit week even for integrated video but should not give you these problems at least at boot.
I have an Allied 300w running my old K7n420 with no probs with similar amps.
If th RAM peformed flawlessly in your other system, what chipset was it? nVidia is another beast entirely.
Where did you buy that RAM? do they have a website?

Satellite M45-S331 Laptop; ACPI Bios in this system is not fully compliant

Can you please help w/ a booting problem? I installed a new HD (WD Scorpio Blue PATA 160 GB) in a Satellite M45 Laptop; then imaged using the Toshiba Recovery and Apps DVD to Windows XP. (DVD labeled TK143/PMAE00213012). During re-image, the first displayed text/first routine said "Windows 98"; but the final image was Windows XP. That seemed odd, almost like the image was an "update" from 98 rather than a fresh XP image; or perhaps it's nothing at all...
When powered on, it progresses past POST to the TOSHIBA screen, pauses, then displays this Blue Screen:
"The bios in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor or visit www.hardware-update.com for an updated bios. If you are unable to obtain an updated bios or the latest bios supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed - it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation."
Technical information:
***STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00000011, 0x00000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256841
The "F7 trick" (from above) doesn't seem to work, but I'm not positive the right time to touch the F7 key. hardware-update.com is not running anymore. I'm not sure what BIOS I have, but thought I saw 2.0 at an error screen. Is there a new BIOS to fix this?
After a crash, I get the option of booting to "safe mode", which I usually take. It still gets the blue screen. What do I do do get this machine to run? Thanks in advance for the help!!

This really is ridiculous joke that I have a laptop and I cannot install any other OS due to the BIOS not being ACPI compliant .
I bought this wee smal one, cos I've been using Lenovo/IBM laptops for ages, now have two brand nw ThinkPands one Ideapad and this small one. I had no issues whatsoever to get rid of Windows 8 on ThinkPads and Ideapad, Win 7 and Linux installed nicely, but this one ... I'm honestly so angry I bought it that if I won't get this problem sorted I'll just stick it on ebay. Lenovo .. you have dissapointed me with this one! AAAGGGHHHHH!
Folks ... does anyone have a solution for this? Help me cos in worst case scenario I will just throw it out the window.
Hey there, have a question for you...
I have the same issue that you do, on my flex 2-15 ideapad. You mention that you were able to get windows 7 to install and boot on your ideapad.
HOW did you accomplish this one?? I am at a loss... Windows 7 starts to boot, but freezes as soon as the animation begins.
Maybe I could help you (not positive, but will try) with your issue if we could figure out what to do about my BiOS.
Thank you

T440P - Error Installing WinXP (ACPI compliant error)

HI,
I'm installing WinXPsp2 64bit on T440P.
I'm using nLite to build an instalation image with AHCI Sata Drivers and when I'm installing show a BSOD with 0x000000A5 error say that BIOS is not full ACPI compliant
When I press f7 on install show a menu to select ACPI Multiporcesor x64, ACPI Uniprocessor x64 and Other.
If select Uniprocessor or Multiprocessor the error is the same.
If select Other don't work because I don't have the driver.
How can I download the driver?
How can I load the driver with nLite?
Can I update or downgrade the BIOS to obtain its compliance.
Thanks.
Cesar.
Solved!

If you insist on running WinXP in 2015 you need T430 or older. T440 and newer will not run XP.

ACPI Compliant BIOS for Satellite Pro A30

Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A30 which has 1GB RAM and P4 2.8GHZ CPU. I was wondering when toshiba would be supplying ACPI compliant BIOS upgrades for these machines? Because I would like to upgrade to Windows Vista, upon running the Vista Upgrade Advisor, my machine will run Windows Vista Business, but I just want to use Windows Vista Basic.
So I began the upgrade from within Windows XP and once the machine re-booted to begin the Vista installation I was confronted with the Blue Screen, stating that my BIOS wasn't fully ACPI compatible.
This seems like such a shame as the machine is upto running Vista, but Toshiba have not provided ACPI bios upgrades. My bios revision is 1.80.
Any idea?

Hi Keith,
I have an A30 also, after Googling around I've found that the A30 is ACPI 1.0 compliant and Vista requires ACPI 2.0, there is little difference and there are workarounds published on the net but they seem too complicated for me. The websites I've read think it is unlikely Tosh will release an updated BIOS as they would rather users upgraded their computers.
I've been to the BIOS (Phoenix) makers website and followed a link to BIOS agent. They informed me they haven't produced an upgraded BIOS yet but I should try again in 6 months.
I hope this helps a little, if I find anything constructive out I'll post it.

L505D-S5965 Keyboard quit working when "Bios not ACPI" message appeared

I have a laptop that the keyboard will not work. I get the "BIOS is not ACPI Compliant" message even though I have updated the bios to the latest available version. As with other posts in the forums, I can press F2 to get into the bios, but once there have no keyboard control (whether internal or external). I have removed the internal keyboard and had just a USB keyboard, still keyboard is dead. Again, I have seen a couple posts about this on this forum with no posted resolution. Any help would be appriciated.

G710 Missing Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller Win8.1 x64

Hello,
In the driver section of G710 (i7CPU) there is no Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller(Energy menager) for Windows 8.1 x64.
Is it OK to use the one for Wndows 8 x64 instead?
Thank you!

CBHedricks,
Thanks for your replay!
I have ton of questions for Lenovo tech support but as i read the forum here i see no point of wasting my time to create several new topics cause they just don't read it.
For example:
- Why the bios boot takes so long with that annoying animated "thing"? - my old 10 years old PC boots faster than G710.
- Why the turbo boost doesn't work without battery attached? - it should be the other way around - with battery but no AC pluged in, or user's choice at best.
And so on in that spirit...
Hmm... where to start... This is a community based forum, not a true tech support forum. Most of us are fellow users of Lenovo notebooks, computers and servers with differing degrees of education and skills. If you need support call them on the phone for best answers.
If your computer is running Windows 8.1 like mine, t can take longer to boot from power off state than from hibernate mode. Hibernation mode saves a working image of your computer's OS, drivers and running software, then enteres low power state. When you wake it up, it loads in the image, including loaded drivers and software and runs from where you left off. On cold start, windows has to discover hardware, load drivers and then software. Also - it processes any updates that are in the que for install after cold start.
Turbo Boost is a "overclocking" type of situation, one that takes more power to operate. This may explain why it needs two power sources to work correctly. Other than that - I have no clue.

6 laptops not fully charging

Hi,
I recently started a (very) small business in refurbishing laptops and computers.
Now 6 laptops (NC6320's) are all having the same problem.
When I got them, none of the batteries were working, so I bought replacement batteries (from a respectable store in the Netherlands). They all work great, except they all stop charging somewhere between 80-90%. I've now tried anything I can come up with:
- Recalibrating batteries (draining to 5% in Windows, or all the way in BIOS, followed by "fully" charging)
- Updating/flashing BIOS
- Disabling "Fast charge second battery" option in BIOS
- Uninstalling Microsoft ACPI Controller in device manager (highly doubt it's a Windows problem though)
- Returning batteries to store, they tested them, and told me they were all fine
- Buying replacement batteries from a different store
Nothing works! It's kinda driving me crazy and I really hope someone can help me out here
Thanks!

It wouldn't hurt to calibrate the batteries. Maybe they are just reporting the wrong charge.
Calibrate Battery HP
I also would double check that there is no dedicated Power Management program or similiar installed where you can adjust the batteries properties. You can also check Power Options in Control Panel.
HP has the HP Power Assistant.
Sony has a VAIO Control Center where you can adjust the battery charging properties.
And Lenovo has one too, the Lenovo Energy Management program.

Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you very much. I did open another question pertaining to these things and within this I'd like to post the whole situation in hopes of getting your opinion. Allthese problems started after this situation:
I have a HP Pavilion g6-2218nr. I'm going to be honest. I had my laptop open and was walking by it with some stuff in my hand. I dropped one of the items which was approx 5 lbs and it landed on the keyboard. I was running my HP Webcam, and was running Google Chrome with YouTube and Facebook going. I had a Melon +36 dBi Flat Panel Antenna attached to the laptop. Well basically when this item landed on the keyboard, my computer froze up completely. I had no functioning of the keyboard. I tried inputting Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open Task Manager and nothing. The only thing I could think to do is hold the main power down and let it power off. When I tried powering back on the screen stayed black, the HDD light icon on the right wouldn't light up, the CD/DVD Drive seemed to make a noise when booting up, but nothing would load on the laptop. I have had some experience involving A+ training/certification, so I took the panel off and re-seated the RAM. It looked loose or off a bit so I did that, and it started working again. Later on that day it quit working again, so I re-seated the RAM again, and this time nothing. I took the entire computer apart, and put it back together, and still nothing. That night, I re-seated that first stick of RAM, and it was working again. So I figured I would try getting online, but my Melon Antenna, and an Alfa AWUS036H are now not being recognized, and comes up as "USB device not recognized The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it." Beforehand both of these devices were plug-and-play, and nothing was going wrong. Also my camera is not being recognized. I also noticed that when I connected through my laptop's built in wireless card it asked for the passphrase, which it was normally not doing as well. It seems my laptop is doing many odd things, but I'm hoping with all these signs maybe someone can help me out, or it might appear more apparent to someone else (other than the fact I need to be more careful) When I took the laptop apart and inspected the motherboard and other components everything seemed to be fine, so if anything it'd have to be something small, barely noticeable. Thank you all for the help, and I apologize in advance if anyone helps and this becomes a "brain-buster"
I posted this on another forum, and someone said it almost sounded like a motherboard problem/issue.
