VGN-A217S major cpu overload problem with AC supply ON

Firt of all hello to all.

OK this one is really odd, I personally have never come across anything like this before and its taken me quite some time to realise what was going on.

It starts like this, with the AC supply connected to the docking bay, or directly to the laptop [with and without the battery in the computer being charged]..the CPU performance jumps up to 100 % usage.

With the power supply disconnected and the laptop running on its charged battery it goes back to normal and works fine.

Now I am sure you will all realise how much of a huge problem this is for a multimedia computer, that requires the use of its docking bay to watch TV, or to have music from its external card.
Seeing that the docking bay requires AC supply to work.

I have replaced the AC power supply on numerous occasions, as it has blown up twice on me since i bought it. And I am using official Sony Ac power supplies too.

Sooooooooo experts, what the heck is my problem ?

Thanks in advance

Paul
