Precision M2800 CPU gets stuck at certain frequency when laptop starts charging.

At work I got a new Precision M2800 laptop that I use in a docking station because I need 3 screens.

My battery, I guess to optimize its life or such, usually goes down to 95% and then starts charging back up.

When the charging starts, if I look into AMD Ctalyst->Power-> PowerPlay  I see that the state of the laptop switches between Battery<->Plugged In   every second, and when this happens my CPU gets stuck at a certain speed usually 110Mhz or 500Mhz rendering the machine useless.

I have managed to keep the laptop usable by disabling Intel SpeedStep in Bios., but now it stays at 3.55GHz all the time, making it a little to warm for my taste.

Did anyone run into this issue before, and how can I go about getting rid of it?  Is this a docking station issue, a laptop issue or a software issue?

Thank you and please let me know if I can provide more details.
