Hi,
A lot depends on the adapter you purchased, it's wattage, etc. I would recommend you read this FAQ on batteries and adapters. It should provide you with some of the answers to your questions.
Using actual Dell products will, obviously, alleviate a lot of the problems that you're seeing. Those items have been tested and confirmed to work with Dell motherboards, batteries, etc.

Just got a 150 watt dell power supply off of ebay the other day and when it gets here. I am hoping it will fix the problem. Thanks for the help.
