Is this Sager a desktop PC? If so, it sounds like the same symptoms I get when the CPU cooling fan quits running. I suppose the same thing could happen to a laptop, but I've never experienced it with a laptop. You can check the temp of the CPU by going into BIOS setup before windows loads. There is usually a screen in the setup that monitors things like CPU temp, fan speeds, HD spins and things like that.

You can get a base plate with additional fans in it to set your laptop on, helps keep it cool when doing some serous surfing.

This Dell has double fans and I clean them fairly often. This is a dusty environment and it is amazing how much crap builds up on the fans and next to the CPU. Major dust bunnies have been found lurking in there. I need to get some canned air.
