Comment 16 for bug 1088146

I also have exactly the same bug, symptoms (fans at max, etc) and the only solution for me when it happens is turning off everything and removing the battery. If I'don't do this and reboot into Windows 8, then windows will tell me that the charged is plugged but the battery is not charging. Note that the orange light that turns one when the battery is charging is indeed off.

However, my laptop is a different model, its an Asus G75VX (only one month old).
