I don't know ! But it works for my problem. I've found this answer on 
the Nvidia forum.
I don't know ACPI neither NVidia driver and GeForce hard..
I have the 4363 driver and if the ACPI is enabled, the kernel crashed 
(Ctrl + Alt + Print Screen + B doesn't work) but I don't know the link 
between the both.
