Yes, that only one last solution. Here is original topic and here is patched x64 acpi.sys that I can found.

WORKED!!!!!! guys you are amazing...

 

[vagenrider]

so..my method was this: i got uefi modded iso because the original giving me acpi bsod after the first loading bars,and then intergrate your drivers with ntlite,flash the iso,complete the first stage,boot on my win10 installation,navigate to win7 location,i take ownership and replace all the acpi.sys with the one from king george...reboot to win7 and complete the installation! later will post all the list with the drivers install

Try to use Snappy Driver installer, hopefully it can find compatible drivers
