    I've noticed that when I tried to play a music video while my laptop was in battery saver mode it continually crashed. I got the Blue Screen of Death which said something about my video card going into infinite loop. I was able to play it fine when my lappy was set to high performance. I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem, is it driver issue or something? What exactly is my laptop good for while in battery saver mode?

    I got the same error on my w3v. I think it was because I was running rmclock and power4gear at the same time and it was clocking down the processor to the point where it could barely run. I turned off power4gear and it works fine now.
