I haven't experienced this with my L50 or L70, and I run the power sucking monster Musicmatch v.4.0. Have you checked to see what the Windows system resources are at boot recently? Are you running Win98? I can't remember about W95, but you can check resources at boot on the "Performance" tab of "System Properties". I keep mine at 94%-96% at boot by shutting >everything< down in MSCONFIG except system tray (actually a couple little things won't use much power). Do you have a lot of icons on the right end of your task bar?
