Bios trouble?

[Ants]

I recently bought an AMD 2500+ and an MSI KT4V-L mobo with 1.8 bios. When windows tries to start i get a blue screen message that says Windows has stopped to prevent damage to your computer goes on to say my bios is not ACPI compliant? never heard of this before, i flashed the bios and reflashed it.. still no go, any ideas?

i get this message when i try to install windows and this fault code, anyone who can look it up?

"*** STOP: 0X000000A5 (0X00000011, 0X00000007, 0XF7947120, 0X0100000D)

Did you check to see if your BIOS had ACPI enabled? Go into your BIOS, usually "Del" or "F1", look under advanced or power settings for an ACPI setting.

I tried that, no go;/ If i set the clock back down to 100mhz i can get it to work as an 1100 but obviously i don't want to do that. Really at a total loss right now as to what to try.

Shameless bump

If Crashman see your post he would probably tell you to get rid of the VIA chipset first before solving the problem ^_^'

You never know how stupid you are until you have done something stupid enough for you to realize it.

ive seen this on my own system.. try relaxing your memory timings.... that fixed my issues. Just a suggestion. I cant garantee it will work but its worth a shot if it does. Let me know what happens.

I am having the same problem right now, although my system had been running for about a year and 1/2. I got a virus, cleaned it, and a couple days later my system died, giving the same message. I flashed a new bios got it up and running, (i wiped the OS, thinking it would clear the virus) and about 1 hour later, it quit and did the same thing. I just ordered a new bios chip, and am going to try it. My system Is:
MB Abit kg7 raid
CPU AMD T.B. 1.4
HDD WD 40 gig, 7200 rpm
I just ordered the chip today, so I don't expect to get anything going till next week. Will let you know...

I have not received my new bios chip yet, so whil I am waiting, I decided to remove the old one, and while doing so, I noticed it was not fully seated. I pressed it in just a very tiny little bit, ant tried to reload win 2000. It is currently doing so, the furthest I have gotten in 10 days. I will keep you posted if it stay up and running. Jack

So far it still seems unstable, unless i underclock it to a 1400mhz

Really sounds like a memory problem. Or power supply won't support higher memory speed (power consumption). First thibg to do is drop the ram to 512 mb, especially if you're not using Win 2000/XP and swap sockets around.
