aska98 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Hi everyone, i have a problem that when my computer install winXP pro, in the hardware list, it don't have ACPI support. Even though when i choice "Turn off" to turn off my computer, it also will not automatically off my computer, it only will show "It is safe to turn off your computer.", but if my computer install win98, it will have ACPI support and can automatically turn off my computer. What is the problem?????? My computer is P2 350, Intel BX chipset motherboard and 256 RAM. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonS_Mil Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 It sounds like you need some drivers installed for it to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneless Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 BX chipset ...hmmm. the best intel chipset for w985..6 years ago of course and no bad at all today for w98.no competition from AMD .do you verify in your CMOS the ACPI settings for your BIOS ? (ctrl_alt-del...)must be something enabled there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
member11 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 aska98 ,your old mobo only supports APM NOT acpi.there is nothing you can do about it. You can try to change it from APM to APCI in Device Manager but i don't gruantee it will work as expected.if you don't want to receive a message "it's now safe to turn off computer", download xteq 6.6 and download all plugins. In this program, it has an option to turn off your computer immediately without seeing this stupid message.hope it help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I have a computer which had the exact same problem. To fix it I had to update the BIOS, enable ACPI, and Reinstall Windows XP. If this does not fix it, i don't know what to tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjz Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 He needs to go to hois power cp and enable the apm/acpi checkbox there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svasutin Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Changing HALs is not something that can easily be done. You need to reinstall XP. Unless you do it right, you will have random, non repeatable, system crashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjz Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Update bios if needed. There is always the windows repair trick. But can you check apm in the power cp box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
