Unfortunately your ASL appears to be the problem, not ACPI.  The best
thing you can do is try a BIOS update for your motherboard.  If that
doesn't help, use acpidump to get your DSDT and then start working on

This is not for the faint of heart so that's why I just suggested
disabling acpi on your box.
