Dear all,

facing this issue on my Acer Aspire 5020 (has X200M chipset PLUS X700M Grafics on top):

When powerplay is enabled in the CCC, the driver crashes when I unplug the mains.
Screen goes blank and Vista (64 bit) tries to reload the driver, showing a mouse cursor for a while but fails, blank screen again. This goes into a loop until I plug the power back in and after a while it shows the desktop, flooded with messages 'the ...driver has crashed and was restored' or sth like that.

This happens with Cat. 7.6 and 7.7 (modded for installation with MobilityModder).

Pretty bad, Vista is anyhow reducing the battery runtime by 50% on this machine and any means to avoid this like PowerPlay would be great.

Can anyone share their experience with powerplay under Vista 64 (and X700)?

SORRY WRONG CAT.: SHOULD POSSIBLY GO INTO MOBILITY (but it might also be a Vista issue.) Can I have a double posting?
