    :( Really screwed up, it's about 6 weeks old.

    Dell 6400, 1.6ghz core 2 duo, 1gig 667mhz ram, 120gb 5400rom hd, ATI X1300

    Basically, as soon as I remove power cable to run on battery, blue screen of death, with a physical memory dump, It restards fine on power, but not on battery.

    :confused: :confused:

    help please.

    I've done a reinstall of Vista, completely reformatted etc, not helping.
