Exclamation operating system problem

Ok Heres the problem i tried to install (Windows Xp Pro) on my computer and i get this error

A problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage to your computer

If this 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 or visit HTTP://www.hardware-update.com for an updated Bios. if you are unable to obtain a updated bios or the latest bios supplied by your vendor is not ACPI compliant. you can turn off ACPI mode during text mode setup. do this, simply press the F7 key when you are prompted to install storage drivers. the system will not notify that the F7 key was pressed - - it will silently disable ACPI and allow you to continue your installation.

Technical information :
*** STOP: 0X000000A5 (0X00000002,0X827ECAD0,0XE1066D10,0X827ECDF8)

when you first start the install in the blue and white screens if you watch the bottm of the screen it will prompt to press F6 to install 3rd party driver. When it dose this press F7 not F6 like it asks picture below
