Sony VPCE series ACPI problem

Model: Sony VAIO VPCEC 1M1E PCG-91112M
Motherboard foxconn 1P-009CJ00-8011 MBX-225 M980
BIOS : R0300Y8.ROM
BIOS brand : AMI aptio V4 ?, BIOS UEFI compatible.

Hi, first sorry for my bad english, I'm French.
I recently buyed for parts a laptop without hard drive. When I try to install windows the laptop stuck on multiple step. (I can share videos)

-Windows 10 : directly after "press a key to boot from usb" when the windows logo appears before the balls rotation.
-Windows 10 pré-installed from another computer : same stuck on logo.
-Windows 7 : after loading files, the laptop screen go dark.
-Windows 7 safe mode : stuck at pnp.sys or disk.sys
- Xp : Dark screen after enumerating all drivers
- Xp acpi=off : bluescreen

Spoiler: screenshot

-Ubuntu : installation complete only if acpi=off and works flawless without extra fn key fonctions else with acpi= on verbose stuck at "Freeing SMP alternatives memory : 32K"

Spoiler: screenshot

All components seems to be ok, I tried liveXP or windows to go key made with rufus. 2 another RAM stick.

I flashed the bios from Dos but maybe I don't made the flash correctly.
Any advices is welcome even risky, this problem is for educationnal purpose

 

Have you tried disabling ACPI, installing Windows, and then turning on ACPI?

Check your BIOS settings. Restore default settings. Disabling UEFI is a good idea.

Are you using a new HDD or was it previously used in a UEFI enabled computer? Use DISKPART, etc. to clean the HDD and try again.

 

Hi thanks for your help, I cleaned the disk using diskpart. I got the same problem. The bios is very limited take a look on pictures. I wonder If I can find recovery data disk to restore data from factory ? or maybe unlock the bios to force ACPI off or BIOS mode only. Another things the wired network Marvell Yukon seems to be down.

 

I used the firmware test software to generate a report. I use ubuntu with acpi=off and apic=off.

Code:

646 passed, 99 failed, 8 warnings, 6 aborted, 219 skipped, 11 info only.
