I've had a windows 2000 box running for 6 weeks, but last night it rebooted for no reason.

I now get the following error on boot up

"The ACPI BIOS in this system is not fully compliant with the ACPI specification. Please read the README.TXT for possible workarounds. You can also contact your system's manufacturer for an updated BIOS, or visit http://www.hardware-update.com to see if a new BIOS is available The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your system vendor or visit http://www.harware-update.com for an updated BIOS. If you are unable to obtain an updated BIOS or the latest BIOS supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. To do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The system will not notify you that the F7 key has been pressed- it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation."

any ideas?
