I have been keeping an eye on the ASUS C90S drivers page:

god dame it asus! this model has been out for a month and there's no sign that asus will release a new bios to solve such critical problem!!! now i can't even using my laptop w/o ac pluged in, w/ the battery, i get 30% chance for a blue screen during boot, 70% freeze on desktop...tried w/ both vista and xp.... i really felt regret for not getting a g1s or np5790..

You have a ram incompatibility issue thats what it seems like since you can't run off of ac battery and such.
-
which might not be fixed by the BIOS update, you'd be better off just slapping in some new RAM (do a search to find what RAM is good for Asus models)

Yep its a ram issue, yesterday when I tried my new corsair memory I got random blue screen at boot, and couldnt get into windows. Went back to the 2gb of nanya with no problems.
the other ram I tried froze totally at boot every time. I hope they can fix it with a bios update, but I gave in and ended up settling with 2gb of ram instead just for the sake of things. Now I can finally run from battery, and I cant say 2gb seems slower than 3gb but I really have not tested it extensivly. -
yup, that's why it sucks to preorder a product, before it came out i did a series of research of this nb, turn out quite impressive, ddr2 800, 512MB 8600M GT ddr3 + conroe, now i just realized u can't really trust on any pc preview site b/c they provide FALSE info. b4 asus release it, there's no warning of ram incompatiblity! now i have to seat on the last row of comp prog class b/c my laptop must be plug to the wall, and my 800Mhz ram now runs at 533mhz + 5 in latency, a diff set of ram will be an extra $130(which also made current ram wasted) , Asus really pisses me this time.

One thing though i tought that some version/revison of processors are incompatible too.
how do i know if my processor is having issues too? -
oh god =\
ive run through 350$ worth of ram and i still cant get a set of ram to run on battery
ive found that 1 gig of corsair from newegg can run on battery, but not the 2gig corsair from newegg, or the 1 gig ddr2 800mhz from ezwiz
this asus crap is seriously pissing me off now =\ -

I ordered 2 gig of 1 gb of corsair value select and they worked fine. It seems getting the 3 gb configuration poses even more problems. 2x 1 gb I mean.
-
i wonder if anyone contacted asus regarding to this issue, i really do want my laptop to have some basic portability ...
-
I am waiting for my Kingston mem and will post when I have it to let you know of any issues with it.
-
Hmm. That's the main reason why I order the memory to be installed with the laptop at GenTech. So hopefully I don't have that issue, if I do, I know it probably is not the ram, but some other unforeseen misfortune.
Any news on the C90S bios??
