    ACPI error!!


    Hi

    im having an issue installing windows 7..

    This computer is not compliant with the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) standard. Windows must be installed onto a computer that supports ACPI. Contact your computer manufacturer for a BIOS update or install Windows on an ACPI-compliant computer.

    im using an updated evga 780i sli mobo with the newest bios i check the bios and acpi is on... any help would be great..
