It didn't take me long at www.zd7000forums.com to realize that my laptop problems probably have nothing to do with FreeBSD. An entire domain that exists for people to complain about the zd7000 and zd8000 laptops. I am glad I have a sense of humor about this. Actually I am lucky. I am only having an occasional spontaneous reboot, and my battery (even under Windoze) can't handle the full current draw of the laptop, so it overheats and thermal shutdown in the battery powers everything off. Some people are not so lucky and their battery burns up. And the graphics card for my laptop hasn't burnt up yet, but then I don't do any gaming. I did flash the bios though to the latest. But according to the forums, there is no magic bullets for these units. Did Carly Fiorina design this model herself? Oh, I forgot, they fired her.
