Hi. Running Windows 10 32bit upgraded from Win 7 23bit Home Premium. 2GB memory, 320MB hard drive, Sony Vaio VGN-FE770G. Phoenix Technologies Bios R0173J3. Windows 10 works well with no major issues. All devices working except "Mass Media Controller" (for old card reader - not a big deal). I can print, use Cortana, Surf Web. Run applications, connect PCMIA cards, USB drives etc. I can do whatever I need to do. Great experience EXCEPT if I disconnect the power adapter while using the computer the laptop freezes.
The issue does not replicate itself in Safe Mode. I can disconnect power while using the computer and computer keeps working fine.
I have tried different power adapters with the same battery with the result of freezing when power adapter unplugged while using. I have tried different laptop batteries with each power adapter with the same result of freezing when power adapter disconnected while using. So it lends support that this is likely not a hardware issue.
I also do not see any power settings in BIOS that I can edit.
I also removed all software from the computer other than Win 10 OS and still the same issue occurs.
So something that loads in full boot-up of Win 10 is likely responsible. Likely a software issue or OS issue? Is there anything that I can disable in settings or control panel to address this issue?
