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. -- Best Regards, Travis J. Hicks
