Hi all... my computer has been acting weird for some time now..the list of problems range from: freezing, slow start up, Cd-Rom & CD-RW disappearing at times, although the CD-RW does work on occasions.
I've done system restore a few times, that seem to have worked for a while, sometimes it helps if i dont turn it off for days, sometimes doesnt..
i've looked at my error log, and its a mile long.. the most common errors are as follows ,
***********
Your computer has lost the lease to its IP address 192.168.100.11 on the Network Card with network address 000B067F35C5.
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\CdRom0.
The device 'SONY CD-RW CRX220E1' (IDE\CdRomSONY_CD-RW__CRX220E1 ____________________6YS1____\5 &18bef761&0&0.1.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
( this error below appears at an alarming frequency !! )
AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to read from an illegal IO port address (0x71), which lies in the 0x70 - 0x71 protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance
The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service hung on starting.
DCOM got error "%1084" attempting to start the service netman with arguments "" in order to run the server: {BA126AE5-2166-11D1-B 1D0-00805FC1270E}
The DHCP Client service depends on the NetBios over Tcpip service which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
The TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper service depends on the AFD Networking Support Environment service which failed to start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning
do any of your smart folks have some suggestions as to where to start solving these issues?
I'd start by going into your BIOS setup and disabling ACPI.
It sounds like some of your system devices are not "waking" when the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) settings are trying to tell them to or the ACPI is trying to control devices at the wrong times.
With ACPI on your system is supposed to be able to "go to sleep" if you stop typing for a period of time and then "awaken" to it's prior state when you touch the keyboard.
In theory it should tell the system to rediscover all of your hardware and restore your drive mappings and network connections but based on your error messages it sounds like it's not doing that. It could be a BIOS problem (you can check with your system's manufacturer and see if they have BIOS upgrades you can download to correct the problem) or you have non-ACPI compliant devices in your system that don't know how to properly "wake up".
Hi fishin' thanks for the advice.. i've decided to go to the manufacturer for help.. hope it will solve the problems..
cheers
