I have tried every option I can find to no reward.


A little more info regarding what you tried would help.  No way for 
us to know what you can find :)


Model numbers are good too.  What Motherboard do you have? what BIOS? etc..

Having said that, the first thing I would suggest is disable ACPI and 
see if that makes a difference.
