    Whenever I unplug my ac adapter the screen dims and everything freezes for about 10 seconds. Also my wireless doesn't work after that, even if I plug in the ac adapter again, I have to restart my computer to get everything working again. Any ideas on a fix?

    I have just upgraded to 801 bios and 163.71 nvidia drivers. Thanks.

    OK this is normal, the screen dimms because the computer is switching from normal mode to power save mode, in that mode the screen default is not as bright to save power. The wireless also shuts off to save power. You can overide that in your control panel --> system --> device manager --> wireless devices --> disable turn off this device to save power.

    As for things not working with the AC adapter thats sounds like a ram issue. Mine would freeze totaly if not on AC power and I could not run on battery at all untill I got good ram that worked with the c90.

    Thanks, I am gonna look into this... Also my esata does not work at all, when I install the drivers it says that the device cannot be found, I have an external 2.5 hd, the esata works fine on my desktop so i know its not my drive. any ideas?

    Thanks Vicious, I already had the setting checked that it wouldn't turn off my wireless when it goes into power save mode, so I have no idea what the issue is, I am going to get with BTOtech to talk about my RAM. Thanks.
