bridgwaterdave Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 My son's Dell Laptop suddenly started switching off after a few minutes of surfing so we started it with a repair option through F2, it has gone into start up repair mode and does not seem to fix it, the screen continues in perpetuity to say 'Start up Repair' is checking your system for problems and it does not do anything else.................any ideas what it could be, or how to fix it. The laptop fan does not appear to work either, could that be part of it? Dave Quote
KenB Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Hi and welcome to ExTS started switching off after a few minutes......The laptop fan does not appear to work I think you have hit the nail squarely on the head. :) The fan isn't working so after a few minutes the heat starts building up. Once it hits a pre-set figure ( too hot to handle ) the machine shuts down. Having said that ........... My laptop that I am using at the moment the fan is barely audible. Are you sure the fan is not working? Put you ear to the bottom of the case. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
