I'm currently having problems with my notebook computer with Windows XP SP2. The first time I boot up on battery mode, I always get a BSOD. But when I boot up using the AC adapter it boots up fine. Can you guys help me? I have attached the dump files below.

Your minidumps crash with various culprits, including memory corruption.

Either a faulty battery or faulty ram are the probable culprits.

Replace the batter and see if that solves your problem.

Also, test your ram as per these instructions.

Thank you howard_hopkinso for the prompt and possible solution for my problems.

Oh I forgot to mention that after several tries of rebooting in battery mode, it would successfully boot up and it would prompt a dialog box that would say windows has recovered from a system failure...

This is my second reinstall of Windows XP Pro with SP2. Before I would get a stop message on boot when on battery mode that would say:

PAGEFAULT_NONPAGED AREA or something and at times it would say...
IRQ_LESSTHAN_OR_EQUAL or something

A faulty battery would cause all manner of system crashes, just like an underpowered or failing psu does on a pc.

That would also explain why you have no problems when running the laptop on the ac adapter.

Your latest batch of minidumps are consistant with either a power problem(your battery), or a ram problem.

However, if it were a ram problem, I would expect your system to crash, even when using it with the ac adapter.

Wow howard_hopkinso! Thank you very much for the lightning response to my inquiries. I'll be bringing my laptop back to the shop for a possible battery pack replacement.

Again thank you very much!!!
