    Does the same thing happen if you boot to safe mode?

      When was the last time you blew the dust out of your computer with a can of compressed air?

        I'm going to ask again. Have you booted to safe mode and if so do you have the same problem? I have a feeling you really have not tried.

          This is most likely the issue...
          If the CPU is not damaged you can buy a replacement heatsink/fan combo...

          Does it just immediately cut off? Or does it say Windows is Shutting Down etc?

            That is the problem. You need a new heatsink. Hopefully your CPU is still okay.

              If you continue to use that machine with a bad/cracked heatsink you run the risk of burning up that CPU and possibly the MBoard.

              Maybe it's a heat sencor try putting a fan right next to it with the cover off and see if it stays on longer if so it might be the heat sencor.
