Unplug laptop and I get BSOD.
Have you checked the INTEL WebSite for an updated BIOS?

OK, I have made an error report to Microsoft and I really doubt Intel will
care being that vista is still beta. Back to xp again

Interesting, I just tried it in single core mode with speedstep still
on
and
it does not do it, so that means it is the combination of Dual Core AND
Speedstep on at the same time BSOD's because it doesn't do it when you
turn
off one of those features in the BIOS. Obviously it is not acceptable
to
run
in single core mode as I paid $1000 to have dual core, but it could
lead
to a
fix. Any ideas now?
I know that Core Duo introduces a technology that allows the two cores
to
run in two different power modes at the same time, perhaps vista only
knows
how to manage one? It works fine in XP, weird

I have a Dell 6400/E1505 laptop with 1.86GHZ core duo processor and
when
I
unplug the power cord it BSOD's and turns off. I can then turn it on
on
battery, and it runs fine on battery, plug it in and its fine,
unplug
it
again and I get the same BSOD!
I've figured out that if I turn off 'Intel Speedstep' in the system
BIOS
it
works but I don't really want to leave it like this because battery
life
is
MUCH worse, like 2.5 hours instead of 4.5
Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps is there some sort of a
speedstep
driver that is needed for vista? I'm running RC1 Build 5600 but it
did
it
in
build 5536 also!
