What, Windows care about a broken dsdt? Bah ... :) A number of folks have run into this dsdt problem with this and related boards from ASUS. The instructions on how to deal suggest dumping and fixing the dsdt table,or grabbing a pre-fixed one from the repository on SF. I tried the repository, but the iasl compiler won't deal with it, so the next attempt was to dump and fix my existing broken table from the BIOS.
