Solve : Computer keeps shutting down?

1.	Solve : Computer keeps shutting down?
Answer» Just recently (actually today) my COMPUTER started shutting itself down. The first time it happened it ran for about 20 min then shut down and after that the most i could GET it to run for was a few min., sometimes it wouldn't even finish booting. When I opened it up i noticed that the fan on my cpu heat SINK wasn't working so i replaced the fan with another but I am still having th problem. I was just wondering if you have any advice on the matter. Personally i think it is either that I need a new heat sink or a new cpu.Could be the CPU is fried , but possibly not. Did you put heat-sink compound on when you replace the CPU fan / is that new fan running / did you check it / is it properly seated on the CPU? Alan <>< ya i figured out that the cpu was fried. I had to get a new oneWell, at LEAST it's working now, correct? If so, best wishes with the new CPU.
