    Hi,

    I have a strange problem whereby sometimes when I use the function buttons on the notebook on battery power the notebook will completely freeze and I have to turn of by holding down the power button and re-start.

    Then if I try one of the buttons again it might crash again..

    Most of the time it works ok.. but 20% of the time it will crash.

    Is there a driver controlling these keys that I could perhaps update? or has anyone got any idea why this happens? :confused:
