    Not sure what is causing this tbh. I have a Sager np9150 with Eurocom Bios I got with the 970m upgrade.

    Charger I am using is a Asus [Model ADP-180mb F]. The wear level on the battery in CPUID is 16%. One time when it stopped charging the GPU fan went on max then stopped....only did that once though.

    I have been using this charger which is a non sager one obviously but because my sager one has copper wire coming out of it from bending a lot so obviously not safe to use. But I have been using it for 5-6 months now with no problems then all of a sudden this is happening really infrequently but constant enough for concern.

    What do you guys think?

    Check the BIOS settings,
    FlexiCharger - option to set charge limits in bios for some Clevo models. If it's enabled you will see no charging sometime.
    You set the % battery level at which it will start to charge and then the % level at which it will stop, it's to stop microcharging and enhance the life of the battery.
