Hi, I ran the windows upgrade adviser and it told me I could install windows 7 fine, when Windows 7 officially came out I downloaded it from my preorder email I received, no problems so far. As I went to install I got an error mentioning I was not using an ACPI compatible computer. I also have a problem that I beleive is related to this as when I power down my computer (windows xp at moment) it comes up with the message "now safe to turn off your computer".
I have been told this is related to ACPI also, when I check my BIOS it says ACPI support "ENABLED" which confuses me as my BIOS picks it up but not anything else on my computer, I tried to reinstall Windows and pressed f5 at the first screen to choose a type of hardware apparently it should say in the list ACPI multiprocesser which is what I need but alls it says is Standard computer then some number next to it, nothing else.
I am confused and also very annoyed as I have payed the money to use Windows 7 and the Upgrade Adviser told me I would be fine..
My motherboard is a ASUS P5N-E SLI and I have upgraded to the latest upgrade for it, when i contact the motherboard/bios company they could not help me at all.
I have tried searching on the internet and as to yet no solution, any help? Thanks, Josh
