I wouldn't update bios unless there is a bios update that directly says it is for this problem. Most newer bios's can be updated via usb or cd.

I'd go to bios and disable acpi and install windows 7.

You're not really going to try to install Win7 on that old of a machine are you? I'd be shocked if it even let you try...
