don't keep running it until you replace the fan. Look for one on ebay or around the web. It is shutting down because of heat. A $20 fan could cost you your whole laptop if you keep running it.
SOURCE: how to restore to factory settings presario cq50
2 possible solutions to this
1. Use the roll back function of your operating system to roll back to the last back up.
2. Insert your restore disk or Windows disk and do a format/clean install.
If you have a restore disc it will have prompts to "restore" your system and give you a warning about losing data-save off what you want BEFORE doing this restore
If you have standard windows disk you may want to use the format utility in windows first to clean the drive and do a fresh install.
Once installed don't forget to download updates and back up and then reload your other software.
have fun this will take several hours depeneding on the amount of stuff you have to reload and patch up.

1.replace fan.
2..clean fan [you will have to dismantle laptop or take to shop].
If you clean your fans your self ,always hold fan bladesand dont let them spin as they can back feed and damage your cpu or graphic card. DT.
