Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System

I have a problem in Device Manager. It's with the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System (code 28) It's showing as an unknown device, and the hardware ID's are ACPI\VEN_HPQ&DEV_6001
ACPI\HPQ6001
*HPQ6001
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

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.

G770 on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller

I have been searching everywhere on the Lenovo support/driver site and on the Internet. I just updated to Windows 8 Pro and have found that my device manager has an alert. It in in other devices, titled under unknown device with a heading of on Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
I am trying to find how to fix this. I had the same problem on a Toshiba but somehow I accidentally fix that laptop. But the Lenovo G770 has me stumped.
Please let me know what to do to correct this problem. I saw something about a Trusted Device or so but still can not find anything. I also searched Mircosoft but they tell you to go back to the laptop manufacturer.

Satellite C55D - missing driver - ACPI-compliant Device

Hello,
I have a Satellite C55d-A-15H -   Windows 8.1 64bit
In Device Manager I have an entry marked "Other Devices" with a sub entry of 'Unknown Device !'
A right click on this and "properties" says:
Device Type: Other Devices
Manufacturer: Unknown
Location: On Microsoft ACPI-compliant System
The drivers are not installed (code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device
When checking update driver via on-line - it fails with "Windows was unable to install your unkown device"
Does anyone know please what's this all about and is there a driver - I've looked at the Toshiba driver list and can't seem to find anything
thank you
fip_man

It's not a driver, but supplied by one of Toshiba's utilities. Try this one.

Probably makes no difference anyway.

G710 / Win8.1 Pro - missing driver Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller

Just complete installing Win 8.1 Pro on my new G710. I got this message - missing driver Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller. Some users said that it can be solved with "Power Management" Driver but this one doesn't in Win 8.1 list. One user said that PM driver made his computer to slow down. Other users said that it is "Radio switch HW" driver but it is not relevant to G laptop. Any idea what to do?

hi
Yes this is the Detected device for Power Management.
This just allows you to control The system power distribution.
If you don't want to use Lenovo Power Management then that's just absolutely fine.
Windows has its own controls for power.
No need to wory about that ACPI\VEN_VPC&DEV_2004
This is one of my thread where the PM solved it

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 !

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.

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??

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.

Satellite X200 1AA - What is Toshiba x64 ACPI compliant?

I have a Satellite X200 1AA notebook with Windows Vista Premium SP1 and I received through Windows Update the following optional updating notification:
"TOSHIBA x64 ACPI-Compliant Value Added Logical and General Purpose Device".
What device is this? What does it do? Should I install it?

Hello
When you check Microsoft updates you will see several optional updates for WLAN card, LAN card, Synaptics TouchPad and c64 ACPI....
I don't want to do any updates for these devices because all tested drivers are installed and this update can change something and maybe make some problems.
I have removed check mark in front of these update options. In my opinion you should do the same.
If notebook runs well (all listed components) you don't need such updates.

Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller

Hallo, ich habe ein Ideapad y500 und seit einem clean install von windows 8 habe ich ein Kompatibilitätsproblem. Hier die Originale Windows Meldung: Kompatibilitätsproblem zwischen power management system und Windows.Ihr power management system ist nicht kompatibel mit dieser Version von Windows.Der Modellname von power management system lautet Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller. Habe die neuste Version des Lenovo Energy Management installiert. Auch schon neu installiert und das System neu aufgesetzt. Hilft alles nichts, nach paar Minuten kommt die Meldung wieder. MFG Matchmaker

Danke für die Info. Das ist exakt die gleiche Version, die bei mir schon installiert ist. Der Übeltäter ist das BCM43XX, das beim Start von Windows 8.1 zu Abstürzen führt (Ring of Death). Im abgesicherten Modus muss ich den WLAN-Treiber deinstallieren und danach funktioniert Windows 8.1 x64 wieder. Mir ist aufgefallen dass das BIOS 3.07 zu Problemen führt, wenn man Änderungen im Start-Verhalten (USB) einstellt, dann startet Windows 8.1 auch nicht mehr. Der Fehler tritt auch bei Neu-Installationen auf.

hi archilen,
Welcome to the Forums.
Just to check, do you have the latest Lenovo Energy Management that corresponds to the version of Windows?
If you have Windows 8 and you're running Lenovo Energy Management v8.0.2.5, try downgrading it to v8.0.2.3 and observe as you may have the same scenario in this trhread.

"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...

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.
