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.

Read the thread...he stated his heatsink is cracked.
