I have a Dell Studio 1555, which I am using from past 3 years. The laptop is used extensively and is in On condition for most of the time of the day. From past few months I am encountering a strange problem.
Few months back I had issues with my Laptop fan. It had stopped working. I got it repaired from Nehru Place and the fan is now serviceable. But now something else has gone bad, which causes my laptop to shut down suddenly. This normally happens when I play a game, watch a movie (works fine in small screen, shuts in full screen) or at some random instances.
Despite fan running, I can feel the machine getting heated up.
The above problem occurs in Windows 7. Strangely, I have RHEL 6 installed and that works fine. Though machine gets heated up like a stove in RHEL, but it doesn't switches itself off.
What can be the problem? I thought it is a hardware issue and I should open it in Hardware section but I was not sure. If Mods feel like it has to be there then please do the needful.
