this is how it looks
Oops, it appears that we have encountered a problem and need to restart.
for more information search ACPI_BIOS_ERROR at a later time.
Your computer will restart in...
then it counts down from 3 to 1. its the weirdest error message ive ever seen. i did some research and apparently asus is responsible for writing the acpi to update their mobos to be able to successfully run windows 8, and havent done so as of yet to this motherboard. my only issue with that is that i had a socket 775 asus mobo p5nd, and it ran win 8 just fine...i also used the same disk to install on both mobos, so it makes me question why a much older board could handle the newer software when a newer one cant.
