    Hi there

    My m17xr2 locks up if you remove the power plug whislt plugged in on battery or if you plugg in the power lead when on battery?

    system runs for about 10 seconds then becomes un responsive!

    any ideas on this?

    It should work fine with the newer drivers. I'm using the older 10.2 and everything is smooth.

    10.2 catalyst solved the problem for me, but I'm sure newer ones should work as well.

    I too have the exact same problem, I just never unplug the beast anymore though to avoid the issue.
