Updating the BIOS might help people having trouble with ACPI related  
things, I had to do it twice on mine, most recently to allow 2 gigs of ram  
instead of 1. It is pretty simple to do even from Linux, just download the  
file, (it is usually a .exe that unzips to an ISO, but I also found the  
already unzipped ISO by searching for the filename) burn it to a CD,  
restart the PC with F12 for the boot menu to select CD, that's about it.
