Windows XP hangs when running on battery [SOLVED]

[Gyrxiur]

Hello, I have a big problem, my ASUS F5M notebook hangs when it is running on battery. Most of hangs are when the battery is under 50%. But it does not occur when it runs in Safe mode or in bios, dos etc. I found one guy, who had the same problem, and he reinstalled windows and it was OK, but I reinstalled Windows, it looks fine, but after I install bunch of updates from windows updates, the problem was back. So it could be because of updates, but it is not sure. Can you help me, please? Thanks

do you have a ati graphics card?

did you use a driverpack or similar?

give more details....anyway, should you have have said yes to both options above then i'd recommend not installing the graphics drivers through

driverpack but instead through a different method. or i've recently seen that you can choose to not instal the control center, which has historically caused problems for ati graphics card notbooks with sudden hangs or shutdowns

hope this helps somewhat, again i don't think we can really help all that much with so little info.

you should create a memory dump and then analyse it to find the cause of the problem.

Thanks for reply, but finally I solved that problem. One hotfix for AMD processors from Microsoft and AMD cool 'n quiet driver helps me.
