Why would a computer that has been working for month's suddenly start having a "Bios not fully ACPI compatible" blue screen error, when the bios has not changed?

During testing with Windows memory tool, the problem occurred.
After contacting DELL support they gave permission to open the case and re-seat the memory, which was done.
This corrected the issue.

@quack Thanks, I'm leaning towards it being some memory going bad. – C. Ross – 2010-05-06T10:18:47.573
@C.Ross: try running memtest86+ (via Ubuntu LiveCD if you need to get it) – quack quixote – 2010-05-06T10:25:42.113
@quack That's the plan. Explaining iso's and live cd's over the phone is no fun though. – C. Ross – 2010-05-12T13:40:37.940
@CRoss: no. go ahead, it's all yours if you care to write it up. – quack quixote – 2010-06-11T19:53:11.533
