o man, i wish i can get it on that pc cuz vist a looks so sickk

nope its perfectly fine, i tested it like a month ago on my system and it sems to be ok on my pc

lol, thats what i did took me awhile to fiure out how to do it but i did it correctly. but still shows me acpi compliant. i contacted the motherboard make "Gigabyte" and all they told me was that there was no driver :s

yea well my dad does run some memory takeing software because hes a stress engineer aerospace. thermal paste, i have no idea where i can get that i've heard of itbecuase im building a pc and i think i need to apply some before start the computer.

i see, but my dad he has like something called a mega pc from msi, and it overheats ALOT. i tried to install vista and it overheated(even xp), and he has a P4 laptop and does the same thing. we tried changing the overheating-shutdown temperature and did the same.

Yes i have the lite version but still doesnt work and im so pissed off. is there anyway to bypass that acpi check after reboot? or other ways to install vista?

i see i see, i also heard that the 478 pin kinda overheats, is this true ?

when i was installing my vista on a firly old pc, i came across one of those bsod's. it told me to update my bios for some acpi problem, so i did. then i read somewhere that i would have to reinstall xp and select the acpi config when xp was starting up the installation. so i did that too. but...
