Ok run lspci in a terminal and post the result

Yes it's only a partial identification
I suppose you mean ACPI not APCI
Try to edit menu.lst to turn off acpi

Code: Select all

gksu gedit /bot/grub/menu.lst

Find the line that looks something like this

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet splash

You may have something else than sda2
Edit it to look something like this

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-16-generic root=/dev/sda2 ro acpi=off quiet splash

Reboot
