ACPI error!!

[boggler]

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..

Thanks for the welcome...

i tried to install with just 2gig like the post says but every time it goes to install and it pops up. i even tried a clean install and nothing... i think ill just have to get a refund and wait till the later more updated version and give it a go if there's nothing we can do...

thanks again for replying...

what version of windows are you running (7100, 7600)? If you are running 7600 that is the system that is to be released to the public on oct 22.

You might want ot fix it now if you can

Let us know what you drcide

its the 7600 version direct2drive style download. i even updated all my drivers, i think the last thing i am gonna try is to burn it to a disc and set my boot seq to cd and see if it will bypass that error. ill keep you guys posted...

thanks again...
