The only issue i can see is if your your ram has not been updated since leaving the factory, you will notice from the tables W7 requires a min of 1GIG and your machine leaves the factory with 256mb(dependant on country possible) so check your ram. I run windows 7 on 2GB and its great, your machine will take 2GB. The Samsung X05 was released 2004 and the NVIDIA Geforce 4 should be fine. i would point out drivers and compatability but windows 7 so far is really good but driver support is crucial
hope this helps

Hay que entrar en la BIOS, entonces, dentro del men? advanced desactivamos el "speedstep".
Despues guarda los cambios pulsando F10 y reinicia. esta vez deber?a funcionar y dejarte terminar de formatear.

You must enter in the BIOS, then, you must go to the advanced menu and disable the "speedstep" option.
After doing that save the changes pressing F10 and restart the computer. It should work.

Bios is not ACPI complaint

It's possible that the BIOS setup has been accidentally set to non ACPI mode. Check in the setup to ensure ACPI is enabled.Other possible causes are memory expansion, overclocking and incompatible driver software. Check out what you have recently installed or updated on your computer.This can occur if Windows has detected that the BIOS in the computer is not fully compliant with Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI). To correct this problem, contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain a BIOS update that is fully ACPI compliant. (If your PC is an older model, a BIOS update may not be available). There are third party companies that will write a BIOS update for your computer for a fee which may make it more cost effective to replace your computer.You may also find help on this Microsoft Support Site.

This happens when your operating has a problem with it's hardware, e.g or ram etc. Also some windows major files like DLL are gone missing by chance. Try to restart the Pc and press f8 until you get the options to start in safe mode, If safe mode dosn't works and gives the same informaton, try to make a backup of your filesby using the external hard drive, whereby you will need any other computer to make this backup, from your own hard drive. After doing this, you can format the hard drive and load operating system on it, if you know how to do this. You haven't mentioned the operating system you have in your pc, if you have vista or win 7. by pressing f8 key will aslo give you options, e.g..repair, run computer to last known configuration etc. Hope this works, or you can also go online help with service tech.

Dell 8300 not loading xp home with the blue screen of death

To resolve this behavior, contact the manufacturer of your computer to obtain a BIOS that is fully ACPI compliant.

To work around this behavior, manually install the Standard PC hardware abstraction layer (HAL):
  1. Restart the computer to restart Setup.
  2. When Setup starts again, press F7 (not F6) when you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver" screen.
Windows automatically disables the installation of the ACPI HAL and installs the Standard PC HAL.

I have seen on many forums that ACPI makes a lot of troubles to a lot of users under Windows. I will try to explain several things about ACPI and I hope that you will be able to solve your problems after you read this article. I cover only most encountered issues, but always there is a choice even if it's called ACPI disable.:)
The computer ACPI support is detected in the setup stage, but there are less frequent cases when ACPI is not detected and the Standard PC HAL is installed. If you want to force the installation of the ACPI HAL:
1. At the blue screen of the Windows XP setup when it prompts you to press F6 for additional mass storage devices press F5 and you will have a list of options.
2. Choose the proper HAL for your machine remembering that there are also different HALs for multiprocessor machines.
3. Complete the setup, go to Setup / Control Panel / System / Hardware / Device Manager / Computer. If you have listed the Advanced configuration and Power Management (ACPI) the process was completed successfully.
Warning: You can do the same thing if you don't want to install ACPI and your BIOS doesn't support ACPI disable setting. Just choose the Standard Computer HAL from the list of options.
Another method to disable ACPI is:
  • wait for the text-phase of XP setup to complete
  • before XP Setup Wizard to load, boot into DOS and change ACPIEnable = 0 from ACPIEnable = 1 in file c:\txtsetup.sif
The reason why ACPI is not installed on a computer with known ACPI compatibility may be a Microsoft known subtle incompatibility which can lead to hardware instability. In the installation step Windows XP checks the BIOS compatibility with ACPI and the BIOS presence on a known bad list. If the BIOS is there ACPI is not installed. Of course than errors can occur so you can force the ACPI installation (not recommended).

Try disabling it in the BIOS first, this can not be done on a computer with the operating system already installed as it will cause the machine to stop. MUST be done when you initially install the OPERATING SYSTEM.
Regards.

Acpi bios

Hi suleman_indi, I'm guessing you have a question about the D845GVSR motherboard. If your question refers to the bios setting for ACPI. Disable it until windows has been updated to SP2. Enter your bios & enable the ACPI. Should be fine once windows has been updated. Click on this link to load Intel's site for the Intel D845GVSR motherboard.
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Search.aspx?Prod_nm=+D845GVSR&lang=eng&MissingSearchTxt=Please+enter+a+valid+product+name%2C+filename+or+product+ID+%23.&x=21&y=5
If you find you need more information, feel free to update your question.

Good luck!

System reboots when acpi turned off

Hi martinkp, what you need is the update from windows. Leave you're acpi enabled withing the bios. Check windows update. Windows will update (windows software for the acpi). Rule of thumb concerning windows update. Check the dates of the updates & install in order, oldest to newest. This should fix you're system from shutting down. There will be no reason to turn off acpi after updating.

Problem istalling windows 2000 professional on a pc with intel d945gcnl motherboard

try to make bios settings default and make a proper installation

The bios in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor 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."
