my configuration is
core2duo 1.5,intel 965 graphics,160gb hdd,1gb ram

pls help me.....thanx in advance

I think there is fault with battery. exchange the battery with your friends laptop and see.

maybe you could fiddle with the refresh rate also n try your luck..

i tried changing the battery....no use...i cant change the refresh rate...its struk with 60 hz....
i'm stayin in a hostel....there r no computer shops nearby...so i hav to wait till my vacations....
the battery is not the problem...coz the screen doesnt flickers at maximum brightness....i reinstalled win xp and all the drivers...still no use...

or is there any other way to fix it?????
shal i install vista????

nobody to help me????
