ACPI Problems in Windows 7

(Error1

: The embedded controller (EC) did not respond within the specified timeout period. This may indicate that there is an error in the EC hardware or firmware or that the BIOS is accessing the EC incorrectly. You should check with your computer manufacturer for an upgraded BIOS. In some situations, this error may cause the computer to function incorrectly.

Result of Error 1
The speed of processor 0 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 3 seconds since the last report.

What does this means?

It means ACPI has detected the temperature has exceeded the threshold in the PSVT method in the DSDT contained in the BIOS. Therefore ACPI will automatically throttle down the CPU to lower states so temperature will drop. Hopefully.

I revised the DSDT file need further testing to confirm if the newer DSDT fixes the issue(Note: For Aspire 4530 only other Computers need their own DSDT).
