Interrupt conflict ?Have you added a car or other device recently ?Asus board often have a "fail safe" mode in the BIOS. Try that.

Had a similar problem earlier this year on my laptop. Got to the stage where I couldn't successfully boot the laptop without going to the blue screen.The solution was to replace the RAM ( even though it passed the diagnostics tests which came with it).Send me a private message if you want more information. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps.The situtation is like this:I am using desktop not laptop.The computer shut down without any notice and the blue screem comes up. Each time technical information is slightly different. That is the information shown below "STOP" is more or less the same.This morning the blue screen comes up again. It told me BIOS did not match ACPI compliant. It suggested me to turn off ACPI or update BIOS.At this point I have to be careful about if updating BIOS can solve my problem.Even though I turned off ACPI by pressing F7. My computer still occassionally shut down.Note that I do not add any hardware or software. I just have plain software in my pc. That is MS office 2003, MATLAB and Anti-virus

J just send you a pm. You probably getting one of a few error messages(and probably just going around in circles). It would seem that one of the DIMMs is faulty (from my own experience).Try unpluging the DIMMS (RAM) one by one, and reboot each time. Better still, if there is a similar computer nearby, swap the DIMMS from that. Hopefully that will verify that the DIMMs are the problem.If there are multiple DIMMs present, you will be able to work away, with the faulty one removed.(Less ram and maybe a bit slower, but so what... it's back working!)

The fact that the message changes to me points more at RAM problems.
