ACPI 2.0 question

Hey all,

My BIOS came with ACPI 2.0 disabled. How critical is ACPI 2.0 for system stablity/crashes, etc? I've read (today, of course, lol) it is almost required.

And is it true that you have to install Vista with ACPI 2.0 already enabled on your BIOS for it to work correctly? Meaning I would have to re-install Vista?

I'm currently having crashes and instability problems, perhaps once or twice a week, while playing games. This is down from around 5 times a day before I RMAed my power supply and manually turned up my GPU fan to 100%.

All timings/voltages are set to manual. All updates/drivers are current.

Thanks!
