Windows 10: ACPI BIOS ERROR loop after update

Hi there,I recently did the suggested windows updates, but it sends my computer into a fatal error loop. It seems like the only fix that I have found is to downgrade to the previous BIOS version. That is not normal at all. I fixed it twice, but now I am fed up of doing this after each update. Can you please investigate and let me know what's up? I must not be the only one. My computer is a Dell Inspiron 5505.

ACPI BIOS ERROR LOOP

Hello Zai_v,



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



I understand that your ASUS laptop has a blue screen fault, and the error code is ACPI_BIOS_ERROR

This error usually indicates a problem with the ACPI Settings in the computer BIOS (basic input/output system). The BIOS is a firmware that initializes the hardware and boots the operating system. ACPI BIOS errors can occur for several reasons:

1. Outdated BIOS: If your computer's BIOS is outdated, it may not be compatible with the ACPI Settings required by your operating system.
   
2. BIOS damage: BIOS corruption can result in various errors, including ACPI BIOS errors. This can happen because of a failed BIOS update or other software/hardware issue.
   
3. Hardware conflict: In some cases, hardware conflicts can cause ACPI BIOS errors. This can happen if the device the computer is connected to is incompatible or the hardware component is faulty.
   

To fix ACPI BIOS errors, try the following solutions:

1. Update the BIOS:
   
   Visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest BIOS version of your computer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to update the BIOS. This should resolve any compatibility issues and resolve ACPI BIOS errors. However, you may need to download the BIOS firmware from another device, then copy it to the USB flash drive, and then try to do it directly in the BIOS after setting the USB flash drive boot priority in the BIOS.
   
2. Reset BIOS Settings:
   
   Press a specific key (usually Del, F2, or F10, consult Asus support for details) to access BIOS Settings during boot. Look for options to reset BIOS Settings to default values. This helps resolve any configuration issues that cause ACPI BIOS errors.
   
3. Check the hardware connection:
   
   Ensure that all hardware components are properly connected to the computer. If you recently installed new hardware, remove it and see if the ACPI BIOS error still exists. If not, the problem may be caused by the new hardware, if you do not have the technical ability to remove the device, please follow the guidance of ASUS after-sales support.
   

It is important to note that changing the BIOS can be risky and can cause more problems with your computer if done incorrectly. Therefore, if you are not familiar with BIOS operation, please follow the guidance of ASUS after-sales support.
