    Sounds like the battery is buggered.

    I have experienced it with a 3 year old laptop, with a bogey battery. I don't use the battery on it any more - it's plugged in all the time now.

    I have my suspicions. The windows install has been used before on my laptop and I currently have no battery icon (you always get round to fixing your own last don't you).

    I added power.cfg through system > advanced > data execution prevention based on a thread I had been reading. The icon was sound before reinstalling. I might continue on rooting around google before dismissing it as a battery gone dodgy. It would be too coincendental for me. :)
