The ACPI drivers on your computer control the power management of your Windows 7 or Vista system. When you are experiencing data loss or strange sounds coming from your computer's tower, your ACPI drivers might be out of date. Updating these drivers is not very hard when you use the software that came with your Windows 7 system. The Windows Update software will automatically update your ACPI drivers by accessing Microsoft's database.
