I have installed Karmic on an old HP laptop. The battery on it was dead, so I purchased a new one. However, if I try to surf the web on battery power, the laptop will completely freeze. I can play games, type papers, or whatever on battery power, and it's fine. But soon after I start Firefox, it locks up. I installed Dillo, and the same problem occurs. This problem does not happen if I am running on AC power.
I am not sure if this is a code bug, or a hardware problem, and would like someone to help me figure out where to start to solve this.
