So... this is the fifth forum and the last one I’m going to visit. I’ll explain things a little bit.

I had some issues with Windows 10. Let’s be clear, I don’t like almost everything.
When I tried to boot from my Windows 7 DVD, it just gives me a BSoD with the message:
Your BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant.
Then it just says that I need to update my BIOS. Obviously I updated it.

Specs:
Asus rog strix GL553VD
i5-7300HQ
GTX 1050

I already tried with an USB. I updated my BIOS, tried to downgrade and upgrade a million times, searched information on every website. Secure boot is disabled, CSM is enabled and my disk is MBR.
 
Unfortunately, Stop 0xA5's are difficult to debug, unless you have a checked build of Windows and unfortunately not many people do.

However, this bugcheck does point to an issue with your BIOS, I assume that you have no access to the files on the computer at all?

1. I have an official Windows 7 Ultimate disk.
2. I have complete access to my system.
 
Do you have Windows 7 Home Premium or Pro installation media available to you? I remember this being a common issue during the Windows 8.1 days, where people would be unable downgrade to Windows 7 as a result of the same error. If you're able to perform the installation with one of the lower versions, you can do any Anytime Upgrade to Ultimate using your Ultimate serial key.

Yes I've already tried Home Basic and it didn't work. :(
 
Why is KMSpico present on your system?
 
Windows 10 is the original OS that came preinstalled:
- the laptop has a key in the BIOS
- the servers of Microsoft have registered the hardware for activation, if you logged in with a microsoft account.

If using the original install media, the key in the BIOS will be used to activate, else Windows will connect to the servers and activate.

I installed Windows 10 Home, thinking it would be activated by itself. SPOILER: Didn't happen I just want to install Windows 7 because I have a lot of trouble with Windows 10
 
Windows 10 seems to have come preinstalled with that model, therefore it should already be activated for you. Do you have any activation errors? There seems to be a few Windows Update errors in the event log, have you created a new thread here - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/windows-update/

When does the BSOD occur? Only when you attempt to boot from the DVD?

Happens when I boot Windows 7 Ultimate from DVD and USB. It says "Starting Windows", the screen flashes 2 times and the BSoD comes in.

Also, both USB and DVD boot on my other computer. I managed to unlock some options on the BIOS:

"PTID Support, PECI Access Method, Native PCIE Enable, Native ASPM, BDAT ACPI Table Support.
Other options: Enable ACPI Auto Configuration, Enable Hibernation, ACPI Sleep State, Lock Legacy Resources and S3 Video Repost."
I just need the configuration so I can boot from Windows 7. Tried also with Home Basic, also didn't worked.
 
The problem still lies with your BIOS, more specially from the bugcheck parameters, it appears that BIOS failed to enter the ACPI mode and load the DDB table, which I can't seem find any information on. The ACPI specification doesn't appear to be much help either.

I did notice that you appear to using the latest BIOS version, however, the timestamp is different to the date on the manufacturer's page? Have you tried re-flashing the BIOS with the latest version again?

Does the laptop still have warranty?

Yes, I've reflashed it with the BIOS on ASUS page.
And yes, my laptop still has warranty.
 
Considering the nature of the problem and that you have attempted to flash the BIOS, then I would contact ASUS and see what they can do, especially since the laptop is under warranty still.
