[ltp] Re: [ltp] Re: [ltp] Kernel panicking a bit too often on a TP 600E + other symptoms

Sounds like what I'm encountering with the 600E that I own.

However, this happened with WinXP.  Sadly, I had to destroy the hard 
drive in the system.  I put in a 32GB drive but it will not defragment 
properly WITH THE BATTERY PLUGGED IN.

Try removing the battery and see it the system stablizes.
