    This is what i did :

    At the Asus website, I could not download the drivers for Win7 for my motherboard (ASUS Barebone V2-P5G33).
    Instead I downloaded the "ASUS PC Probe II V1.04.47 for Windows 2000/XP/XP 64bit/vista/vista 64bit" and "Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility V8.3.0.1013 for Windows XP & 64bit XP & 32/64bit Vista(WHQL)".
    However, on installation I got the message "fail to install the ACPI driver" (using setup.exe) or "Does not support this OS: WNT_6.1.P_64_MCE" (using AsusSetup.exe).

    OS: WNT_6.1.P_64_MCE MCE editon(media center edition)? The above does not say win 7. You may need to install it in compatibility mode

    (compat mode=right click the installer>properties>compatibility>chose OS)

    Are you sure, because I bought the Win7 ultimate edition !
    I will try to chose the compatibility mode.
    N.B. Searching for "WNT_6.1.P_64_MCE" I found the following site : http://www.viaarena.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39537
    They suggested to change the ini-file. Should I do that ??

    It appears to just allow you to install the driver on non supported versions. I would not do that unless absolutely necessary, and then only if I had a backup and restore point.

    Within 15 minutes, another BSOD !
    I enclose the dump files and system health files.
    Timestamp of the asacpi is 19-10-2006 (1.532) and the old asacpi still exist !

    The asacpi.sys is the most important thing to update.

    * Confirming this should be done asap...


    Attachment 186204

    * AVG is known to be implicated in some BSOD's.
    Please remove it.

    Download tools and utilities | AVG Worldwide

    * FYI
    AVG Forums - avgrsa.exe Thrashing Hard Disk!

    * To reiterate install MSE.

    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    Sorry, might be foolish, but I don't know how to remove the wrong asacpi.sys.
    After I installed the ASUS drivers (see my comment #16/#17) the wrong asacpi.sys stays in the directory \DriverStore\FileRepository\atk2000.inf_amd64_neutral_a91abe245a6c41c.
    There is also a new asacpi.sys in the directory \DriverStore\FileRepository\asacpi.inf_amd64_neutral_9fe33cbdd27308a4.

    As you suggested I now also removed AVG and installed MSE.

    Is asacpi.sys in \windows\system32\drivers?

    If so, what is the timestamp?
