HP DC6000 – AC Adaptor Problems

by nia_organa . Updated 17 years, 2 months ago

I am having issues with my laptop, it works fine running off the battery alone, but as soon as i plug in the ac adaptor, the laptop will freeze. I have tried my spare battery, same issue, I have tried my spare charger, same issue (both battery and charger are correct ones for the laptop) I have done a disk cleanup, defrag, virus scans and these were all ok. I ran a memory check and this failed at 18.5% so I have ordered some new memory just encase, but i cant see this causing the issue? I have booted of a linux disk and the laptop would not boot so its not a HDD problem. I have taken the battery out and have the laptop has been working fine for about 20minutes, the laptop usually freezes instantly when the ac adaptor is plugged in. In this case I assume the both batterys are faulty, but the laptop runs ok off a charged battery? Any help and ideas please?

After just posting this, the laptop frooze again whilst no battery and running off AC alone. I forgot to mention that I two 512 RAM sticks in the laptop, I tried each one in turn and the laptop frooze on using each stick
