    If my computer is connected to the power adapter and i try to do any heavy tasks like gaming or solidmodeling, it shuts it self down aubruptly and the power plugg becomes extremley hot. I have tried with different power adapters, and they all are the same. Have anyone experienced anything similar or know what to do? thanks

    sounds like you could have a faulty psu power brick. is it the original that came with the laptop.
    what sort of temperatures on cpu/gpu are you getting when the lappy shuts down (free monitoring software in my sig below).
    when was the last time you cleaned your fans and vents out by removing the base plate and using compressed air to clean it out of dust as if you have very high temps then the lappy will shut down to protect the hardware.

    Does your battery get really hot as well?

    i have tested with a different psu power-brick and i get the same results, my temps are fine, i have just repasted the cpu and gpu and i get temps at around 40 c when idle and under 80 c when gaming, also i can use the computer just fine while i am running on battery.

    Specifically the battery. Does the battery get warm or hot to the touch?

    If the system runs fine on battery - whether the battery is heating up or not (which I'd also like to know, though) - then the problem could lie with your DC jack, or perhaps the outlet you're using; especially since you've tried different PSUs.

    The battery gets warm, but not warmer then what i have noted earlier, before i had this problem. What i have come to belive is the problem is that the powerjack is either loose or broken. Therfore i was wondering if anyone knows how to completely remove motherboard from the system, thanks.

    There are guides you can find via a Google search, although ones for Clevo/Sager will be a little more difficult to locate. Are you planning on trying to replace the jack?
