Question : Problem: ACPI error

I get the following error when trying to install Windows 2003 on a system with an  iBase MB820 motherboard:

"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these steps:

The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant. Please contact your
system vendor for an updated BIOS. If you are unable to obtain an
updated BIOS or the latest BIOS supplied by your vendor is not ACPI
compliant, you can turn off ACPI mode during textmode setup. To do this,
press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. The
system will not notify you that the F7 key was pressed - it will silently
disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation.

Technical information:

*** STOP: 0x000000A5 (0x00000003, 0x86988018, 0xC0140001, 0x494E495F)"

Can anyone advise where I can find a BIOS update for this motherboard.

I have tried the vendor web site.
