Isn't that plastic around the CPU? I was thinking the motherboard would have meltable parts.

Yeah, I'm thinking motherboard. I have once before baked my GPU. But the last time I had GPU problems, they were evident before the computer would shut down (screen would go crazy, alien messages across my documents, subliminal...

I have a Sager NP5720 that has been great for many years. Recently, it started a strange behavior of virtually shutting down—screen turns off, no hard drive activity, no sound, doesn't respond to standard buttons—but the CPU fan would...
