If you computer's BIOS tries to write to a port in ACPI Machine Language (AML), you will receive similar errors. Windows NT-based computers, including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, do NOT allow these operations as they can cause instability.
To resolve this problem, contact your manufacturer about a BIOS upgrade.
