I am facing an issue with Super Micro motherboard X8STi built with Intel 980X, Adaptec 3405 Raid Card and 2X 300GB SAS. Installing Centos Linux works perfectly. Installing Windows Server 2008 (any version) gives us the following error:
The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor for an update BIOS.
Stop Code Error : 0x000000a5.
If the current BIOS version on your X8STI motherboard is 1.0 then it is required to update with the latest current BIOS version from our website to correct the issue with APCI compliant.
