System event viewer error

[Dave Bater]

Can someone please help? I have been having problems recently. Every time I
try to open "My computer" or anything like that, the computer slows right
down and I need to reset in order for it to stop. I have noticed in the
event viewer that the following error appears each time, so i know what is
happening but don't know how to fix it. The error reads :

AMLI : ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address
(0x4d1) which lies in the 0x4d0-0x4d1 protected address range. This could
lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical
assistance.

It then gives a Help & support link which explains what is happening but not
how to fix it. I have no "system vendor" as my computer was built by a
friend.

Someone please help me!!

Thanks
Dave

Thanks but I have already read that. It explains what is happening but not
how to fix the problem. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem or do
i need an expert to reconfigure my system.
