I have an intermittent problem with my PC. I keep getting a 'STOP' message on a blue screen. The message is as follows :
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
if this is the first time you've seen this error screen re start your computer. if this screen appears again follow these steps.
the BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant . Please contact your system vendor or visit http://www.hardware-update. com for updated BIOS.
If you are unable to obtain updated BIOS or the latest BIOS supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode set up. To do this simply press the F& key when you are prompted to install stotage drivers. the system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue installation.
technical information:-
***STOP 0x000000A5 0X 00000001 0X86BE55D0 0X0000000 0X 0000000
This does not happen every time I boot the PC up but when it does it tends to do it repeatedly. Pressing F7 during the booting process does not do anything. I have Googled the problem but cannot make much sense of what is being discussed it s all too technical for me.
I have had the PC since about 5 years and have not loaded any new hardware recently. Running Windows XP.
Can anyone help preferably in lay mans terms ?!!
Cheers in advance !!
