Hi! I have an issue with my sony vaio fit 15e running Windows 10, it turns on but after I sign in, it shuts down by itself(It last less than 5 min on). So far I have cleaned it up the fan from the inside, I entered the BIOS and it didn’t shut down while in there but once I reboot it to get into the OS it shutdown again. I haven’t checked the thermal paste of the CPU nor the GPU, could it be that? or something else? Thank you.
Hi, Do you get a quick BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) before it shuts down and then does it reboot automatically? If so here’s a link that shows how to disable the feature so that you can view any error messages associated with the BSOD. (if there are any) Try starting the laptop in safe mode and see if it stays on OK. If it does then there is either a driver problem or perhaps a “startup” program problem. Check Task Manager (right click on taskbar, select Task Manager > Startup) to see what programs are run on startup). Disable them one at a time to see if one of them is the cause of the problem. Check Event Viewer to see if there are any Critical, Error or Warning events at the time of shutdown, which might help to identify the problem. (Right click on Windows Start button, left side of taskbar and click on Event Viewer link)
The bottom vents are lined on the inner surface with a fine fabric. This fabric has tiny holes that can easily block up with dust and airborne contaminents such as dead skin cells. Buy a small children’s painting brush and cut the bristles shorter with scissors in order to make it stiffer. Use the brush to clean the muck from the fabric. You can do this from the outside of the laptop. A torch will reveal when the tiny holes in the fabric are clear. This will restore the airflow through the cooling fan system.
The main problem is when you upgrade the Dual core processor B480 to any other (2nd or 3rd Intel core i3 or i5) as these are GPUs that includes Intel HD Graphics when you upgrade the process the graphics too but as were not optimized for this model after 30 mins shutdown itself to protect from any damage. I highly recommend to install back the Dual Core Celeron processor to stop this issue.
