    Hi guys, I've been having some trouble with my Sager recently. When I'm gaming, (playing Starcraft II) the computer just suddenly powers off (if theres no battery inside). And when I look at my power brick, the light is off and it smells of burning plastic and is hot as hell.

    Im guessing it means it's time for me to get a new power supply. Am I correct?

    If so, any good brands to recommend?


    Btw, this is a Sager np8760 with an i7-740 and ati5870m
