The fist error has to do with the audio format redbook. I've seen this used for the audio portion of some games. Do you know what you were doing on the computer at the time of the error? If not, keep checking the event log to figure out what caused the error. Most likely it occured while playing a game, but if there was no problem with the game then don't worry about it.

The second error is the same one that I get. It occurs upon booting and doesn't seems to affect anything that I know of. I believe that the acpi is the power management system of the bios.

I get the rebook error when I boot into windows. I think it has to do with sounds playing at start up. I have no games installed at all. I may try disabling the startup sounds and see what if that helps. Thanks for the information.
