Hi and welcome

No dont follow those things and pay, the issue is not likely ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) in the BIOS settings, but one of missing drivers for the motherboard and mos likely Chipset, UAA and Audio

But to help with this we would need some information and the below should help you gain this info.

If your PC is one from the likes of DELL, HP, Sony, etc what is the Make and model varient as this will assist us if we need drivers?

If your PC is a home or custom build what is the motherboard make and version?

What Windows version and Service Pack is installed?

Download and install Everest to find this info, at times a summary log of your PC can help, to do this

Install Everest and run
Click Report (top menu) > Report Wizard > Next
Choose System Summary Only > Next
Choose Plain Text > Finish and wait for report to generate
Click Save to File and leave the File Name as Report, then click the Save as Type dropdown and choose Report files (*txt) and click Save (n.b. Save to desktop is best as easy place to find it, use Browse to locate desktop)

Then attach your log to your next post as per these instructions HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post

From their we can let you know what drivers and in what order to install them, but its general rule fo thumb in Chipset first and reboot, then depending on if you need the UAA driver that next then Audio, then any others than maybe missing and any yellow ! marks in Device manager can highlight the missing ones.
