ACPI Load Problem After Mobo Change

[Guest Paputxi]

I had to replace my old MSI motherboard with Intel CPU (it died) with a new

one; totally different from other one (ASUS) and AMD CPU. I am able to boot

into Safe Mode, but it won't boot into Normal Mode. Looking at the boot log,

everything looks fine until it says "Did not load driver ACPI Multiprocessor

PC" followed by other "did not load" messages.

 

I see where other people say to do a repair install of XP. But since it

boots into Safe Mode, doing a repair install seems awful drastic in this

situation. Does anyone know how to correct this problem without doing a

repair install? Thanks in advance.

Doing a repair install is indicated and necessary to load the proper drivers.

Obviously safe mode shows that since it boots, the old drivers are

interferring with normal boot, so they need to be replaced with new ones.

A new MB & going from amd to intel hardware & youre expecting a

"repair" to do the job,good luck....Even if you stayed with amd the OS is

configured around totally diffrent hardware,plus,a repair takes about as long

as a new installation...

You need 2 kinds of backup before proceeding to the clean install that you

actually need for XP to work right. One is all your personal data, the

other an image file of the windows partition to recover any data that you

may have overlooked when recovering image at the file/folder level. Some

specific settings like network and so forth may be specific to your network

or ISP, that you may have to write down on paper in the spiral notebook I'm

sure you keep near your PC for such purposes, passwords are another example.

And, this assuming you have all the 3rd party installation media available

and their specific product keys if applicable. If all is not available, you

may be in for a long rebuild to your previous level.

Speculation on a product or material that is

an obvious need, is not speculation per se

as there is no risk to the speculator.

Common were those selling food and other

supplies in the gold rush days.

In this case, its oil and its everyone who

bites the bullet. And most everyone has no gold

to be made, just business as usual.

side note: some AMD mobo have a bios option to enable/disable the APIC

(not ACIP; APIC - the Advanced Programable Interrupt Controller). You

want this ENABLED in order to get the ACIP HAL installed. Double check

it...
