its not quite clear.. if you want to check if its the charger.. you can try another battery.. plug it in and turn on the computer.. if that worked.. then its a bad battery..
you can try also plugging in your computer directly to wall outlet and remove the battery.. if that did not work.. you can try another charger or the power adapter..
but i think it has something to do with the OS also..
what you can do.. just to be safe, since your laptop is 6months old.. you can call tech support.. they'll help you diagnose the prob and if its the battery, they'll replace it if its covered by the warranty.. so best thing to do is call dell 1st so not to have any complication with your laptop..
hope this helps:)

you might have a power supply/power board that has gone bad, in addition to some hard drive problems. Dell should help you sort things out, especially since it is only 6 mos. old...

It's probably a bad battery but yeah, have it fixed under warranty
