STATUS_ACPI_FATAL

STATUS_ACPI_FATAL represents a fatal condition surfaced by the ACPI path. It should not be reduced to a generic request to restart the machine: the important question is what ACPI object, firmware event or power-management transition produced the condition and what additional platform records were emitted at the same time.

The status is broader than an AML operand error. If the system remains available long enough to collect evidence, preserve the event sequence, firmware revision, table identifiers and any crash or platform-error records before changing BIOS settings, updating firmware or reproducing a power transition.

A fatal condition was reported through ACPI processing

  • Capture the exact code, time, affected device or power transition, and any matching bug check, WHEA or firmware event data.
  • Record the current BIOS/UEFI version and ACPI table identifiers; they are part of the platform contract being evaluated.
  • Treat repeated failures during resume, docking or device-power changes as a platform integration problem, not as an isolated user application failure.
