atikmdag.exe / Windows 7 / laptop battery

Hmmm well BSOD of death in vista and 7 almost always means a hardware failure, your video card not getting a proper power supply would explain your problem.
Then again it could just just be something related to Windows 7 and it's power management.
Windows 7 is new so some strange combination of your hardware and windows 7 and your battery power is causing a fault somewhere. You won't be able to find a solution on google because you are most likely one of the few people out there having this problem.
Truce:
Hm, I'll try contacting Dell support (Studio 1537) to see if any other reports about this problem have come in. I've been running Windows 7 on this laptop for a few weeks now, and never encountered any problems. Although, that might mean something happened to the battery. I'll check it out later to make sure it wasn't damaged some how.

I figured that when all the results were from 06-07, when Vista was new.

Google has search options to limit results to the past year/earlier.
