Hello, people
I have had this beautiful Dell n5010 for 4 years now. It is running beautifully, but lately I have been experiencing a lot of issues. It is regarding the Shutdown.
The laptop boots up normally, and then the fan whines. Basically, I have been trying to change the operating system on my laptop, but it shuts down midway between installations. I thought that overheating might be the issue, but the laptop does not feel hot, and using Core Temp(TM) I noted the core CPU temperature to be rising to a measly 54 degree Celsius. It is not overheating, and the RAM and HDD seem to be working perfectly, and I can even boot into my Windows 8.1 Installation. However, after I try to boot from any external media, the fan whines like mad and then shuts down after a maximum of 4 minutes. Don't know what to do. I thought that the thermal paste might be the issue, but the CPU is not hot, I have experienced hotter temperatures before. I am not running any heavy games on this laptop. Please help me out
