Is ACPI needed?

ACPI must be supported by the computer motherboard, BIOS, and the operating system. ACPI components collect information about power consumption from the computer and gives that information to the operating system. The operating system then distributes power to the different computer components on an as-needed basis.

How do I know if my ACPI is enabled?

A.

1. Right click on ‘My Computer’ and select Properties from the context menu.
2. Select the Hardware tab.
3. Click the ‘Device Manager’ button.
4. Expand the Computer object.
5. Its type will be shown, probably ‘Standard PC’ (if it says (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC then ACPI is enabled already)
