I have a G713P laptop from Asus that I acquired through a trade. When trying to install Windows, I encounter a BSOD with the error "ACPI BIOS ERROR." I've used Rufus, regular Windows, and Ventoy, tried adding RAM in each slot, reinstalled the BIOS, but the issue persists. I can run Linux, though I'm hesitant due to anti-cheat restrictions and limited experience. A chat GPT suggested my CPU memory controller might be faulty from running hot, but I consider that advice with caution. The owner had it on Linux and mentioned they couldn't resolve the Windows installation problem, even though it still appears to occur. Is there a way to fix this?
Why bother fixing something when it already has problems? Unless it’s very inexpensive or you’re familiar with the repair process. Right now, the situation is inherited from someone who knew they were selling a faulty product. Ideally, updating the machine’s BIOS to a compatible version would resolve the issue. In the worst scenario, you’ll invest significant time trying to fix it without success, just like the original owner did.
Yeah, idk either... On other hand they could just enjoy the Linux life! Win 11 is a dogwater os anyways
It seems you'd like clarification on several points after resetting the BIOS. How far Windows installs before encountering a blue screen? Does this occur only during a direct boot from the drive, or do additional steps trigger it? After the reset, have any settings been altered? Is Secure Boot enabled and configured for Legacy or UEFI mode?
The Rufus interface doesn’t launch properly, triggering the Windows Boot Manager and causing crashes on the Windows screen. I can’t even press any buttons; it just freezes. After a reset, I disabled Secure Boot but didn’t change Storage Mode settings, so it remains set to default.
This setting keeps the Windows version already installed, rather than using the USB installer. It's done for convenience or to maintain system consistency. The reason behind it isn't always clear unless you check your installation details.
