How to Disable Acpi in BIOS

ACPI (advanced configuration and power interface) is a power management option that resides within the computer's BIOS. Altering this from its default "on" setting can be necessary depending on the setup of your computer; enabling your PC to use a non-standard power interface system. Note that not all computer manufacturers leave this setting unlocked, so you might not be able to change it on your particular computer.

Instructions

    • 1

      Restart your computer.

    • 2

      Press the key indicated during the startup messages (usually one of the "F" keys) to enter BIOS.

    • 3

      Click on the "Power Settings" menu.

    • 4

      Highlight the ACPI entry, press "Enter," select "Disabled" and press "Enter" again.

    • 5

      Press "Esc" and "Y" to exit and save.
