Hello, my friend has a problem with his laptop and I've been trying to solve it with no success so far.
The laptop boots normally and is working for around 5 minutes and then it shuts down. Here's what I've noticed:
■ It shuts down after some minutes even if I enter to BIOS setup and stay there.
■ I installed CoreTemp and checked the temperatures. both cores seem to run below 60°C, However, I removed the back cover to see the CPU fan and found out it is starting and stopping every five seconds or so.
■ When I'm in BIOS setup and before the laptop shuts down, I can hear around 7 long beeps and 1 short or 3 long and 1 short, randomly.
■ I believe the problem is not caused by Windows or drivers, as it still shuts down in safe mode.
■ The laptop runs an i5 2430m if I recall correctly and 2 gigabytes of RAM in two sticks of 1gb each. Also, it had a 120gb HDD. Taking into account the processor's age, I don't believe this was the original setup. The HDD and RAM must have been changed in the past. So, I tried to run the laptop with each of the 1GB sticks, but it still shuts down.
Any suggestions of what should I test next? The laptop is from national production (I'm from Argentina, the brand is called Banghó) so there's not much support in the web.
Well, I hope you can help me. Thanks for reading my topic.
