Unfortunately your ASL appears to be the problem, not ACPI.  The best
thing you can do is try a BIOS update for your motherboard.  If that
doesn't help, use acpidump to get your DSDT and then start working on
things according to:

This is not for the faint of heart so that's why I just suggested
disabling acpi on your box.
