dell inspiron 1520 hang when running on battery

i have bought dell inspiron 1520 with configurations

intel core 2 duo 2.0 ghz
graphic card intel (R) 965 (256 mb )
hdd 150 gb
1 gb of ram

vista home premium


the problem is that the system works fine when running on adaptor , but when i run it on battery then it hang after few minutes.

When it goes hang all of the lights goes on and i cant do anything but to
press the power button off for a while to shut it down.

The problem continues until i switch the power on.

One more thing is that when i disable the graphic card driver the problem vanishes.

But iam not sure that is it really the graphic card problem , All driver are up to date.

if its graphic card problem then what is the real problem in it a faulty card or
its not getting total voltage when on battery.

i will really appreciate if some one provide me a solution as i need this thing to be working when iam out .

regards.

 

Sounds like your power schemes are wrong. Whose driver are you running, Dell's or MS's?

 

i check it and its dell power schemes also i found out on net that dell quickset is managing the power schemes so i uninstall it to see wheather it solve the problem but its not.

what i see is that the laptop freezes when after using for a while on battery or whenever extensive graphic operation goin like 'Chess game' but still on the battery.

i dont think its a software issue because i cant press alt delete to restart the machine everything just freeze up.

also why this problem not occur when i disable the graphic card , i also tried to disable hardware acceleration but my graphic driver is not allowing me to do so .


who ever solve this problem i will really appreciate because i cant travel with it and its my first dell machine.

kindly reply if you got any solution i will try it.

 

i also have the same problem
Do any one know the solution
thanks

 

try changing your power settings

 

Mine does exactly the same. Never fixed despite loads of calls and patches. Funny how Dell rushed out the 1525 eh?

 

I also have the same problem. The system hangs when it runs on battery. I need to press the power button off for a while to shut it down.

Is there any solution?

Regards,

 

has anybody got a cure for this yet ?
my inspiron 1520 is doing exactly the same
Dell have suggested that the mother board is faulty and needs replacing
but before i do this i want to find out if anyone has another cure
