Ok, my baby is sick so excuse the long winded post.

Sager 9860 boots up runs for a while then shuts self off and all lights go off.
Then the icon lights flash and cycle.
The dc (left) icon flashes then stays on, then the battery (middle) flashes then stays on and then the (right).

Sometimes they will cycle couple of times before they will stay on. Then I can reboot, system will run for a while then will turn it self off and fans come on full blast then fans turn off and lights go off again.

I have raid running so I can not take drives out to get data off and am trying to copy to usb drive before dies for good.

HELP

I have removed all covers and used a whole can of air to blow it out. Even removed keyboard and plate under it to blow out.
Thank you for reply

Mine did that when the temperature sensors on the motherboard went. I cleaned out all the heatsinks, especially taking out the one on the processor then found that the fans weren't coming on. I installed gethermal and the 9860 control settings and set all fans to run continuously at 100% power - ran like a champ until I got tired of resetting getthermal all the time and the video fan went. (the program doesn't control the video fan well). Good luck -

Going to upgrade but they are back ordering video cards until mid March.
