There is a Beta BIOS on the German site-1003f2-I got a reply from Asus saying that it would fix my ACPI problems once and for all. YEAH RIGHT!!!!!!!!!
I had just reinstalled back to APM with the 1003 Bios-will now try the Beta Bios. Wish me luck.

I think you can get the latest bios always from german ASUS FTP-Site (Now running 1011beta1).
If you want to get a bios use this link
<a href="ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIOS/Slot_I/INTEL_Chipset/i440BX">German ASUS FTP</a>
I've seen something mysterious here, they have made 2 different betas to one final version. I have forgotten the exact version numbers but I think they made the 1009beta3 to the first 1009 final then some days/weeks later they've made the 1009beta6 final. Therefore I recommend to get your bios from the above site.
