    Whenever i unplug or plug in the ac power the laptop will freeze. It happends everytime i do it. It is very embarassing when a 3k laptop freezes whenever its bieng unplugged or plugged in infront of friends.

    How do i go about fixing this.

    Edit: Also when i try to wake the computer from hibernation or sleep, the screen remains black so then ia hae to hard boot it or what ever.
