Have you cleaned the fan, vents, heatsink? If a laptop overheats, due to dust, poor ventilation, blocked vents, it will shut down to prevent damage to vital components. Clean, improve air flow through the bottom and out the vents. Never use on soft surfaces that can block air flow. Contrary to the name, Laptop, it's not good to use on your lap. Go figure? If the Laptop is Clean and air flow isn't a problem, open Power Settings in Control Panel,and change Advanced Power settings to Sleep/Hibernate to Never, set to High Performance, unplug and remove battery when not in use. If you use mostly on AC remove battery.
Suggest you start by unplugging the computer from power. Observe Anti-Static Precautions. Use a can of compressed air for computers, and clean out the inside of the computer, as well as the inside of the Power Supply.
(Just do the best you can with the Power Supply. It won't be spotless inside the power Supply case when you are done. The plastic 'straw' will be attached to the can of air's nozzle. The tip of the straw is inserted into the ventilation holes of the Power Supply, and a blast of air is applied.
Go to another ventilation hole, repeat. AGAIN, the computer is UNPLUGGED from power. Hold onto the straw with one hand, and the can of air with the other hand. Otherwise the straw could shoot off, and wind up inside the Power Supply's case. No FUN getting it out)
Next remove all Ram Memory modules, ('Sticks'), and clean the gold plated contact pins on the bottom with a pencil eraser. Clean the contact pins on both sides. If you are Not using a solid eraser, and the eraser on the end of a pencil, refrain from letting the metal band touch the contact pins.
Now use air to remove the eraser dust. (If no air is left in the can of compressed air, air pressure from your mouth is sufficient)
Reinstall the Ram Memory modules. Post in a Comment as to your findings when you are done.
Either the cpu blower is not working or the the air ventilation openings are closed. Use a brush to clean up all the openings for air flow all over the laptop. If possible use clean air under pressure towards the air openingsin co-operation with the brush cleaning. In case of using air under pressure, leave the laptop at least one hour after the cleaning to relax. Start the laptop and check the results. In case of the problem still exists, the problem is at the cpu blower. In order to get at this blower you must open the laptop's case. Since this is not so easy I suggest to get the laptop at a technician asking for cleaning and checking the cpu ventilation. In case you are capable of opening the case or if you come up with a problem, don't hesitate to post me a reply. If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs".

Please note that if the HOT AIR that the dryer crteates is restricted from exiting the dryer because of a clooged up ventilation system or lint build up in the dryer, The ELEMENT will come on very rapidly and very bright which will eventually break the element. ALSO, please check to see if the element BROKE and as it broke it touches the stack. One way to test the ventilation system = hole on the wall to wherever the air goes outside, IS TO remove the vent hose from the BACK of theDRYER and run JUST ONE normal load to see if this works better. If all is good and the dryer works better, then your ventilation system needs cleaning. IF ALL IS STILL NOT OKAY, then check the interior of dryer to clean any LINT or as stated above, check the element
You will also need to check the voltage at the wall receptacle to ensure it is reading 220-240VAC. Improper voltage can also cause these symptoms. The last paragraph in the link explains this.
Have you checked the dryer ventilation from the wall to where it exits your home? Do you have a lengthy dryer vent run? Simply cleaning the lint trap and the dryer hose may not be enough if you have a lengthy ventilation system. You may have to have your ventilation inspected or cleaned. A simple test to determine the cause is to remove the dryer vent hose from the back of the dryer and attempt to dry a load. The air leaving the back of the dryer should be forceful and warm (about 140 degrees F). If the air is weak, you may have a clog INTERNAL to the dryer. If the air remains cold, you may have a component failure INTERNAL to the dryer. If the the dryer functions normally with no problem drying, you have a clog somewhere in your ventilation EXTERNAL to the dryer. Try these tips and let me know. I hope this helps you.
Sounds like the fan motor is overheating and shutting off . A long duty time for a motor that has never been disassembles serviced and cleaned. If it is easy to do, Dissassemble and remove the motor.Most motors are available at electric motor supply outlets.Yes even tiny ones. Replace same ,clean fan . Reassemble.
Hi. The smell is due to water accumulation in the outside ventilation chamber every time there is a rain, or you wash it, water will get in it, no matter what you do, unless you got the car garaged, of course. Replace the cabin air filter, and remove the grill underneath the windshield wipers and vacuum it. That's the best thing you can do.
