Hi there,
Before I attempt another replacement battery (this one is holding its charge very well), I thought I would ask how I might go about finding the cause of the freeze.
I have an ASUS G73JH notebook.
I replaced the battery 3 years ago with one from Dr. Battery (amazon.ca), and it generally works quite well.
Occasionally, my machine will continually freeze either during startup, or immediately after startup. The error logs just show a machine_check code.
The only way that I am ever able to "reset" this freezing cycle is to unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, and reinsert the battery. After doing this, the machine will run fine again for an unknown amount of time until I eventually restart it to find it freezing once more.
I'm not sure if removing the battery, and unplugging it simply resetting the rom, or memory, clearing some kind of config issue, or if the issue is the battery itself, or what.
I am also using a tool called batterybar (I use this on all of my laptops with no issues).
Thank you!
UPDATE:
It happened again tonight. I noticed this time that the charging light was flashing. Normally while running and on full charge the battery light stays green. Once again, pulling the battery and reinserting it resolved the constant freeze on boot.
I'll likely try buying another battery.. it just sucks because this one holds a good charge.
