    When I unplug or plug in my power cord my computer freezes and fans being to spin at 100% and I have to hard restart my computer in order to unfreeze it. Has this happened to anyone and can I fix it or do I have to send it to sager for repair?

    contact your vendor about the issue.

    hopefully they will have a fix for you to not have you send it in.
    - or sending you a new component (like power brick)

    if they feel that its required, then they will instruct you to send it in.

    Its your video drivers. Try the 181.22 DOX drivers, and if it still happens, the 179.28 drivers from nVidia WILL fix the issue.
