Hey Folks,
I was hoping that one of you fine people could help me. A mate has asked me to upgrade his Advent 5480 Laptop top from WinMe -> WinXP Pro. This was all working out just fine, the operating system installed fine, and everything went well (..or so I thought).
The next day I started the laptop and before the OS menu came up a blue screen of death occured, warning me that the ACPI was incompatible with the OS, and that I should check www.hardware-updates.com for a BIOS update. This site looks fake, and has very little to do with computers. Another wierd thing about this problem is that it doesn't come up all the time, next time I started her, she started fine. Then the next time the same problem reoccured.
Any help I recieve on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Jiggy
