Battery and/or Power Funkiness

Hey all,

I've had my Sager 8790 for over 2 years now, and have just come across the first problem I've ever been able to not explain.

I leave my 8790 on and plugged in all the time, it sits happily on a coffee table, in a room where the ambient temperature is usually 75F. The temperatures vary between 35-45, depending on what it's doing.

Lately, while streaming internet radio or just jumping around the internet, I've noticed that the system makes a steady, beeping noise at a random point in time.

Right now, as I'm typing, the LED's across the bottom of the lid are green, green, and orange, which tells me that the battery is on AC power and that the battery is fully charged. (and that Wi-Fi is on)

When the 'beeping' starts, I notice that the green LED that signifies the CAPS LOCK and the Number Lock blinks along with the system. The beeping last for about one minute. Also, I've watched the AC adapter while the beeping happens; the brick's green LED stays lit, indicating to me that the AC adapter is working as normal.

One of two things happen when the beeping ends. My system will shut down completely, as if I held down the power button for 5 seconds, or the beeping will just plain stop, allowing me to do whatever it was that I was doing.

I haven't had a chance to look at the OEM manual that came with the 8790 due to my work schedule and the fact that I'm not living at home right now, so any insiht would be appreciated.
