PhoenixMASTER v2.0 problem on IBM 365ED laptop

I gave my girlfriend an old IBM 365ED laptop (It had been in the bottom of a storage closet for about two years). It is OLD. 18Megs or RAM, Pentium I

When I first, ahem, 'acquired' it, there was no power supply. I found one ($50) and plugged it in. Nothing. I let it stay plugged in for two days, then it started and ran great, until now.

While running or starting up, I will get a screen that says PhoenixMASTER v2.0 and it counts the memory, then it suspends the laptop. I push the power slide switch, and it will startup at the point before PhoenixMISER shows up. I doesn't do this all the time, but it is a PITA.

I noticed that, even though it is plugged in to the wall, the battery icon is still there.

Can anyone help me? It would be greatly appreciated.
