Battery and high CPU usage on an Acer laptop
I have a problem with an Acer Aspire 1640 with WinXP SP3. The OS was very slow, with the SYSTEM process taking much of the CPU cycles. After some quick Google searches I found that taking the battery out and running only on the wall socket could help. I did that and indeed Windows started performing normally again. Apart from the obvious solution of replacing the battery, is there a hotfix or some other solution to prevent the system from hanging when the battery is plugged?
