"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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Error Message "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe unable to locate. This application failed to start because ExtendedScript.dll was not found". This error message is seen when first starting Windows Vista, prior to starting Photoshop Elements 12.

    Error Message "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe unable to locate. This application failed to start because ExtendedScript.dll was not found".
    This error message is seen every time when first starting Windows Vista, PRIOR to starting Photoshop Elements 12.1 
    It does not seem to interfere with the normal operation of Photoshop Elements, but it is a constant annoyance.

  • Error message Hresult:0x8007054f when installing itunes 10.

    I am having trouble installing iTunes version 10. I keep receiving the error message Hresult:0x8007054f and I follow the process it recommends yet I seem to end up going round in circles. I have also read from previous answers to this problem on here that this error can effect your windows updater which it does and nothing i try seems to correct that issue either. Someone help please!

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • 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.

    Photoshop CC might installed on your computer.
    Please check and try to launch the product from your computer, it should work.
    However you may need to restart your computer update your Photoshop CC.
    You may also try to repair Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x64)  from your "programs and features" window if restating the computer is not working.

  • Why do i keep getting an error message of 2096 when installing any version of itunes

    Why do  I keep getting ann error of 2096 when downloading any version of itunes.  It tells me to delete itunes and reinstall.

    That one is often a compatibility mode problem. Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

  • 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.

    In iCloud setup my apple I'd is not accepting. Getting error message it should be  an email I'd, but my my apple Id is just in user I'd form? Please support.

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
