Dell Studio 1555 problem

Hello. I have a Dell Studio 1555 and recently I am experiencing some problems with it.

When I start the notebook on battery (it was on power cable when it was shut down) it boots up the system and after aprox. 1 minute it freezes and I have to shut it down from the power button and restart. After that it runs smoothly with no problems. First I thought it's the OS but I am using Windows 7 x86 and Ubuntu, and the symptoms are the same on both.

If anyone knows what the problem is or has experienced the same problem please answer me.

Thanks

    Start with the Dell diagnostics -- F12 at powerup.  Run an extended test on the RAM and hard drive (NOT just the quick tests).

    I've run all the RAM and HDD tests with no error. Could it be a BIOS problem? (I've run those tests too but there was no error there either) Any other ideeas, please?
