OSX.8.4 MacBook Pro Run away Fans Baterry issues

Recently Energy Saver Preferences Shows Battery Service with a Triangle.

Also I am noticing when I have more that two Applications open, sunddenly computer heats up, the Fan goes wild and the Battery nose dives fro 98% to almost screen black out.


I have to hold down Power Button down, to quit.


Then when powered up immediately started charging battery the Fan continued blowing for a while. but then Quit.

I have a Battery coming.


I've tried the SMC reset. Dut I am not sure I am doing it right. Its almost impossible to press the shift-control-option and Power button down.


Any one have this issue and what am missing.

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

Its not completely dead. it stay 98% until all of sudden the Fan goes crazy the computer gets hot the the charge falls to 10-15% percent then the screen goes black. Then if you shut down by holding power key down, then restart it immediatey start recharging. It will recharge to 100% in about 30 minutes. then next time you restart computer its back to 98%.
