Is there anyone who has experienced the disk
drive "locking up" the system with so many small slow
accesses while the lap top is on battery power? As soon
as I plug it back into the AC power the performance
returns to normal.
 
Yes, exactly the same symptoms. Task manager shows CPU usage between 50% - 100% and everything slows down.
 
Following my last post - Task Manager shows that the taskmgr.exe and EXPLORER.EXE suddenly jump up to 15-20% processor activity each when I unplug the mains lead. Plugging it back in they go back to 0. Anybody any thoughts?
