Same is the case with ASUS ACPI whose function is to efficiently manage and distribute the power to all integrated and additionally connected devices on the motherboard.
Like everything else, ACPI also requires its corresponding drivers to work efficiently. However there might be times when ASUS machines fail to perform ACPI functions well due to incompatible, inappropriate, or missing ACPI drivers. When this is the case, the adequate and latest version of
ACPI drivers must be manually downloaded and installed on the ASUS computers in order to make them function properly and distribute the correct amount of power required by each device that is connected to the motherboard.
