    Hi all,

    I haven't tried undervolting yet because I don't know much about it, but recently I installed a core 2 duo e8235 core 2 duo (2.8ghz, 44w TDP) along with a quadro fx 3700m in one of my m860tu.
    I completely expected it to not handle much stress on battery power, but it will not run at all. The system freezes completely as soon as it is unplugged, and will not work again even if its plugged in again until I do a hard shutdown & restart.

    So like I said, still have to try undervolting but any ideas? It seems odd that all the quad cores will run just fine on battery and yet this CPU will not work at all.
