8KNXP and WinXP Service Pack 2 Problem
After installing SP-2 on my Rev 0 board (bios F6) the
thing won't powerdown. WinXP shuts down okay, then the computer hangs at a black screen and will not power down...the power supply keeps running. The problem is due to Adv Config Power Interface (ACPI) not being loaded by default (and I don't know how to load it either). I have to hold the power button to get it to shutdown. It's important to note (according to gurus) that this is a powerdown problem, not a winxp shutdown problem. Any ideas greatly appreciated. |

I would highly recommend updating to the F10 bios. Many people on
this newsgroup (including myself) have experienced general instability in BIOSs F3 through (roughly) F9. On the other hand, I've been running F10 for months, and it's been quite stable. http://www.giga-byte.com/Motherboard...S_GA-8KNXP.htm Kris After installing SP-2 on my Rev 0 board (bios F6) the thing won't powerdown.

Thanks for the info. Does F10 have an ACPI option? I don't see
any such an option in F8, and F6 didn't have it. "Kris Vorwerk" wrote in message om... I would highly recommend updating to the F10 bios.
