ACPI is the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. Have you tried clearing the CMOS (loading optimized BIOS defaults)?

If the optimized BIOS defaults does not help, it's possible there's a device driver conflicting on startup. If that's the case, boot into safe mode with networking (if possible) and zip up and upload the DMP files to a site like Skydrive, etc, to be analyzed so we can pinpoint the problem.

I found the info on resetting the cmos. I'll definitely be trying that first thing tomorrow when i can get a hold of my computer.. A tech has it right now. But unfortunately all the combos of function keys i've tried didn't work. Its a samsung as well and their tech support had me try f8 f4 and f2, with and without holding the shift key. I think my last resort is trying to reset the cmos.
Thank you again,
Jt
