STOP error during Windows install

I am getting a STOP: 0x000000A5 error. It is stating that the BIOS on my A8N32-SLI is not ACPI compliant. I have never seen this error before today while attempting to reinstall Windows XP.
I am at a complete loss as to what I should be doing. I am way out of the loop in terms of hardware problems. It has been suggested that I flash the bios again, but I have no way of doing this at time of posting.
Suggestions?

- some weird bug that can be fixed by completely discharging the motherboard circuitry and BIOS - remove the battery for a couple hours
- the CMOS battery needs replacing
Got windows installed and booted...twice. Now it gets most of the way through loading before flashing a BSoD and rebooting. seems stuck in a loop.
