Windows 7 install

Hi, I have an older Intel Quad core CPU on a P5Q pro Motherboard, Have tried updating to windows Vista or Windows 7, Get an error message on the Blue screen, that the ACPI is not compliant. Help

Means your mobo is not compatible with Windows 7.

i doubt highly the board is not compatible with vista or win7.i know you probably did this but,back up any data you need and select boot from cd/dvd and do a clean install of windows.ive installed 7 on a lot older than this and it should at least take vista,so i dont think we are looking at a non-compiant mb here.

Thanks Aidan, The HDD is a new one. I had installed XP on it first, cos the Vista disk was an upgrade, not the Win 7. and each time I get the Blue Screen, with non ACPI compliance.

so you have done a custom or "clean install"?make sure to format the hdd when given the option during the install.truthfully,on all the older hardware ive put 7 on ive never run across this,and like i said,they were older than what you have.

I don't think there'll be Windows 7 drivers for it.

have you run the win7 upgrade advisor?chances are windows will find at least default drivers for your pc,but to make sure go here.
