I have a laptop that when it's NOT plugged into the mains and is booted or attempted to be used the system blue screens with the following information;

*** Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Channel Check/ IOCHK
*** Thesystem has halted ***

Anyone have anyideas? I suspect that it may either be a power issue (although the system doesn't turn off) or possibly a hard disk problem, again possibly relating to a power consumption.

Anyone seen this before or have any suitable ideas?
