computer problem

when i play video files my computer blocks and it says this
in event viewer; "AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to
an illegal IO port address (0xcf8), which lies in the 0xcf8
- 0xcff protected address range. This could lead to system
instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical
assistance."

i just reinstalled my system because i thought it would
solve my problem but it didn't..now i think i have a
hardware problem but i don't know how to find out which
part(s) is broken. any ideas?

Have you updated your drivers for your video card, sound
card and anything else you have? If you haven't, you should
do that and see if that fixes it.
After that, you might have a look around your BIOS to see if
there's anything you can do there. Choosing "fail-safe"
settings, if your BIOS has that option, might be the
easiest. If you still can't fix it, then you should try
updating your BIOS. You'll have to find the make of your
motherboard, and get the update from the manufacture's
website for that. Everyone always gives warnings about
messing in the BIOS because if something goes wrong, your
motherboard is a doorstop; but I've never had any trouble.
If that doesn't fix it, I do not know. It could be some of
your hardware behaving badly. About the only way to find out
what would be to disable it or remove it a piece at a time
and see if the problem goes away.

It seems to be one of those stupid, involved problems that
has a different cause for everyone. Good luck.
