Hey guys, I have a really big problem on my other computer, being that when I moved it, it won't load windows anymore (it's a laptop with win 7) and the fan is in high speed so you can't hear any other possible noises over it.

Can anyone help me?
 
what do you mean, when I moved it, it won't load windows anymore? Does the computer turn on and then shuts down automatically during the Windows OS login screen?
 
Yes, I can turn it on, but when it starts loading windows it'll just shut off, and I have to wait about 5 minutes before I can turn it on again.

When I moved it, I shut it off, closed the lid and picked it up gently then set it down on my other desk and when I turned it on the fans kicked into high and it wouldn't load windows any more.


Edit: It just started working again, the fans aren't sounding like jet turbines and it loaded everything up normally.
 
Yeah, dusty fans usually cause computer crashes. To prevent this from occurring again in the future, I suggest placing the computer higher up and cleaning the fans at least a little every second week or so.

I'll probably have to make a habbit of it once every three or four days, living out in the country with a lot of dust and no AC so the windows will be open all the time.
