Dell Latitude D600

Windows XP pro sp2

Problem:

On disconnecting AC power the blue screen of death appears for fraction of a second followed by a Windows restart.  On coming out of standby after un-docking Windows would also re-start.

I had to use a digital camera to catch the blue screen so I could read it.  The blue screen indicated gv3.sys is the culprit.

1. Check the processor driver:
2. right click on 'my computer'
3. select properties
4. hardware tab
5. device manager button
6. click the + sign by processors
7. right click on 'Intel Pentium M processor
8. select properties
9. select driver
10. select driver details    mine indicated gv3.sys

I used the update driver button and let it search Windows Update for a different driver.  ‘intelppm.sys'.was installed.  This stopped the restart after disconnecting AC power but now the laptop would not go into standby properly.  The fan remained on and the batteries where drained within a few hours.

Re-installing Dell Quickset 'r81106' has fixed all other problems.

Subsequintly I learned that gv3.sys handles power management for the Pentium M processor for Windows XP sp1 and intelppm.sys is for sp2.
