Or it could be your DC in board. You can find out how many cycles are on a battery by using System Profiler and choosing POWER you can also see if it's charging.
The charger could not be putting out enough current to run the computer, certainly not enough to run the computer and charge the battery, but enough to charge the battery when the machine is off... a short in the DC board could present the same.
Good Luck,
