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??

  • 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

    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... 

  • 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?
    Sean

    Sean
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System

    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.

    CBHedricks,

    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.

  • Unable to consume a simple SAPWebService error "not JSR 172 Compliant"

    Hi,
    Am trying to consume a simple webservice which was created by exposing a function module. The consumer of this WS is a J2ME application.
    Usually we the framework(or IDE or other tools) will help us in creating the stubs(proxy classes) when provided the WS wsdl URL .I tried in C#.dotnet and i was able to create the stubs and consume it. Now when i try it J2ME ->NetBeans IDE-> STub generator->same wsdl url, i get an error "not JSR 172 compliant". FYI, JSR 172 is the spec for WS consumption by a Java 2 MicroEdition(J2ME) applications[http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=172].
    My question: How can i make or what are the other settings that i have to do in SOAManager to make this JSR 172 compliant.
    FYI, i just created a helloworld function module in ABAP and created a enter. service. In soamanager i have not done anyother setting other the default settings the comes.
    Any inputs on this would be really helpful.
    Thanks,

    Hi Sam,
    I haven't worked with this before but I did some quick reading and it looks like you have your work cut out for you, you can't just use the WSDL as is for J2ME...Refer to the "Stub Generation and Invocation" section of the document below:
