Laptop Hangs

[Mahesh]

I have upgraded the Tecra8100/XP with the latest BIOS
from Toshiba site but still my laptop hangs
intermittently and the following error message is in the
event viewer...Any fixes ?

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

Hi,

After you updated the BIOS, have you boot into BIOS and
then load the default setting then save and exit?

Peter, I just rebooted...After the update the message
said to reboot..I thought it automatically saves the
settings..Pls can you mention the exact steps..
Or how do you check the BIOS version/date ?

-Thanks
