I'm asking because I've been investigating the WD errors over the last four of five days. The problem is that even with Max Battery power settings, I can't get repeatable failures. I can see timing glitch differences, but not big enough to cause WD errors. I can repeatably cause other problems by setting power settings to that extreme -- this will be detailed soon.

If you have the time, can you stepwise back out the changes until the problem comes back? Clearly asking teams to make numerous BIOS changes has its risks, so I'm looking for the minimal changes, and ideally, the series of steps one can take to improve the timings. The tradeoff here is battery life.

Let me know your observations. Thanks.
