WinXP having Standard PC CPU model continuously restarts while booting and have seen BSOD. Please refer attached screenshots.
Initially, WnXP guest has MPS Uniprocessor PC and I'm having problem while doing shutdown. It hangs displaying "Its now safe to turn your computer"
I have read below article that If we
change CPU model to Standard PC and install NT APM legacy driver, guest will be shutdown automatically.

By doing this it worked fine with different WinXP guest earlier. If i do the same to my WinXP guest I'm seeing above specified issue.
Instead of changing to Standard PC, I thought of changing to ACPI
complaint.
But after reading below article, I understood we can't change CPU models(MPS Uniprocessor PC/ MPS Multiprocessor PC / Standard PC) to ACPI simply by Update Driver.

Here is Qemu parameters for launchign WinXP guest.
$INST_ROOT/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=/home/naga/SpiceImages/winXPt64.qcow,if=ide -soundhw hda -L /home/naga/spice-git/share/qemu
-spice
port=5924,disable-ticketing -usbdevice tablet -enable-kvm -m 1024
-net nic,model=e1000,vlan=0,macaddr=52:54:84:fe:00:02 -net user,vlan=1,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22 -net nic,model=e1000,vlan=1 -monitor stdio
Used Spice v0.10.0/v0.10.1 and Qemu v0.15.1
I can't reinstall WinXP guest OS to specify ACPI.
Is there anyway to change CPU model as ACPI complaint from MPS uniprocessor PC?
Thank you for your help.

Naga.
