    Since Firday night, my Sager NP2740 has been shutting down (completely powers itself off) after a few minutes in Windows. I have run HWMonitor (Screenshot attached) and have watched it until right before the computer shuts off and the only thing I see is Core 3 running at its max, 1297 MHZ. I use the laptop for work so it does get heavy use (10+ hours a day), but it is always plugged in to the AC Adapter. I also thought it might be something with the power adapter, but the machine still shuts down after a few minutes when it is running on battery power/not plugged in. The battery indicated on the laptop indicates pretty normal function as far as when it is running on battery and then charges once it is plugged in again. Any help on what might be causing this issue and how to fix it would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It may be a loose connection warming up and shorting in the machine, try dusting it out with an air duster and also try reseating everything it's easy to get access to.
