Ok, I got my sager 2098 a few months ago and it works perfectly fine except for one annoyance that I can't figure out. I am currently running windows 7 x64 and only when watching full screen movies, whether it is a flash movie player or an application such as vlc, after about 5 minutes or so all the front lights on the computer start flashing and so does the power light. I've noticed that when it does this it switches to battery power and I've checked the power management settings and I cannot find anything coming anywhere close to causing it. I can fix the problem by just plugging the cord from the laptop and then plugging it back in, but it will start to do it 5 minutes later if I continue watching videos. I have reinstalled windows on this machine and it still has the same issue. I think it is most likely a hardware problem since it still persists, but I need a second opinion on anything it could possibly be.
here are my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo P8700 (2.53GHz, 3MB)
4GB DDR3 1066MHz dual channel
4GB Intel Robson Turbo Memory II
512MB ATi Mobility Radeon HD4650
320GB 7200RPM Serial-ATA (16MB cache)

Does it happen on AC power, with the battery removed?
