![]() I am not getting any error messages about the power supply during POST. I have run basic memory tests ( not the extended memory tests), hard disk tests and no problems are detected. When it occurred this morning, it was a cold boot from a powered off state on battery power, so there appears to be no correlation to plugging in the AC adapter. I had to force shutdown using the power button both times. The do recall recall that on two occassions this boot issue happened, I noticed a system lockup immediately upon plugging in the AC power supply. I have scanned for viruses, rootkits and other malware using more than one brand of security software. Yet, the problem continues to occur intermittently. I have tried a system restore within Windows, an OS recovery, a format and reinstall of Vista Ultimate x86 once, and then did a format and new installation of Ultimate 圆4. The repair is always successful no matter which method I use to do the repair. I have tried restoring the master boot record and BCD from the Vista CD as well. ( I use Easy BCD from NeoSmart Technologies to do the repair.) Once I repair the BCD the problem goes away, only to return after a period of days. The problem will persist until I repair the BCD. It occurs approximately once per week, sometimes more and sometimes less. ![]() I have the exact same issue with my 2 month old XPS and it has been an issue for as long as I have owned it. ![]()
