    Hey guys i bought an XPS 1530 about a month ago, installed Xp and everything is running fine. I do however have 1 issue with Medieval 2 Total War.

    The game runs fine when im running my laptop off of the battery, however i find the laptop will restart mid-game 5-10mins after plugging into the mains.This also happens when playing without the battery in the machine just using the mains and also when start playing straight away from the mains (ie. not playing on just the battery and then plugging in when it gets low).

    I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue, either with this or another game (btw this only occurs on METW2, all other games are fine) and if anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing the problem?

    Thanks. :)
