Out of personal observation I have noted that several for members have reported the same sort of problem with their 5100's. It would appear that one of the RAM slots would die for no reason.
A suggested workaround was to utilise the only working RAM slot by putting in a bigger stick of RAM to make up for the loss of the other slot.
As of my knowledge, the 5100 has no known memory-slot problems. And i dont think that he upgrade of BIOS has affected the computer hardware.
What you need to do is to call in to the support, check if the computer has warranty.
Do the troubleshoting with a tech, and they will probably come to the conclusion that its the motherboard that need a change.
If you have the regular warranty it will take 10 working days to get your computer repaired.
The ACPI controller is a thingy that controlls power to different parts in your computer, when going back from hibernation this may occur. Most likely the motherboard change will solve this to.
