T500 freeze on battery, can't open task manager

just got this T500 a week ago, Vista Ultimate 32. it works fine plug in, but it often freeze after every 10-30 mins use on battery (often when I was on a bus or train, that is, when the laptop isn't stably placed on a secured surface). when it freeze, keys on keyboard are still functional, number lock and cap lock and even the little light bulb on top of the monitor can be turned on and off. mouse pointer is also working.
when the screen freeze, both Alt+Ctrl+Del and Ctrl+Shift+ESC don't work, there is no way I could end task, all I could do is to do a hard power down by press and hold the power button. and the freeze problem would occur again in 10-30 mins, and the program that i was running dont seem to matter, it freezed on Word, Mediaplayer, iTune... everything...
any idea where is the source of the problem? bad battery? Vista problem? hardware? or active protection?
