Is there anything stuck in your power port that could cause the computer to think this way?

Have you tried re-seating the battery?

Is there a red X over the battery and it shows its being charged?

That...

Is confusing. I have never ran into this issue before. What drivers did you try to uninstall?

It could be related to a bad BIOS?

It is really hard to troubleshoot something like this. Good luck!
