Yes, found it the hard way. The boot up time lag got to me so much that I reinstalled Windows 7 and made sure to be choosy with the updates (only security patches & essentials).
Cheers!

Its a fact that higher GPU processing needs AC power but it might be possible that as soon as you remove charger, the profile is switched. Go to batery settings (advanced) and change the battery mode to maximum performance from battery savings!

I agree with thetechfreak. I myself ruined my laptop battery when scheduling night downloads. Its better when you have a home ups and don't use the battery when working for a long time.(I mean remove the battery and run the laptop in direct power when you have a home ups).
Another tip: When having dual boot with windows and linux, you can have a common partition (as a buffer) formatted in FAT32 filesystem to be accecible from both the OS so that you don't disturb the respective OS core files.
And since OP asks, i mention my lappie model: IBM Thinkpad SL400c.

I must add that Gaming on a Laptop sucks. Consider this, my Dell XPS 1645 [ i7 740QM, 8 GB Ram, AMD 5730, 7200 RPM HDD ) can't run Battlefield 3. Why? - Dell refuses to update the Graphic Drivers for their laptops
Why can't you download the latest graphic drivers from the ati website? I mean the catalyst control center? And I am running BF3 at 40fps on high settings (Asus K53SV Laptop - i7 2670qm, 8gb ddr3, 2 gb nvidia gt540m OC'd)

Dont wait for manufacturers. Go here- AMD Graphics Drivers & Software ? Download the latest drivers for your graphics products
and get the drivers. also try this software called Game Booster to see if it helps boost performance. It has benifitted few members I have recommended
Game Booster 3.0 Free Download, Speed Up PC for Top Gaming Performance
sdmaverick, thetechfreak thanks for the suggestions but AMD drivers don't work.. Laptop manufactures customize hardware and publish their own drivers. I downloaded stock drivers from AMD website but they don't install. Catalyst Control Center gets updated but the display driver remains the same. One solution is to hack the drivers. I did that and played BF3 like that. However it screwed my display's colors after somedays. I had to rever to the old drivers. AMD itself acknowledges this problem and says they are at the mercy of OEM's. If you have a solution please post. Eagerly waiting for your reply

@Rahul B Did you try the Gamebooster said to use? Should boost Gaming performance a bit. is your PC bloated with Software that Dell installs?
