The machine to too hot and it's groaning about it. If it is still under warranty, contact Sager immediately. I had this condition on an 8790 and returned it for a refund.

Try cleaning out the build up from the heatsink. Search for a thread started by VioletDream with instructions.

My 8890 had that happen after 8 months of ownership. I cleaned the heatsink, and no more problem. It was just heat.

Cheers,
