Hello,

I don't see an option to disable ACPI in the BIOS. I read the motherboard
manual; it mentions supporting ACPI but does not mention any way to disable
it via the BIOS or jumper settings. The only related thing I see is the
ability to enable or disable an ACPI Suspend To RAM feature, which is
currently disabled. I googled for how to do it and didn't find anything.
