My girlfriends Sony Vaio S 15 keeps shutting down after about 15 to 30 seconds. I opened it up and browsed on the internet for about 30 seconds and it just shut off on me. I pushed the power button and it restarted like normal. The windows 8 loaded and I was able to log into the computer and view the desktop and even opened internet explorer but then it just shut off again. The first thing I did after that was restart the laptop and checked the battery and the battery was fully charged but again the laptop shut off in about 15 seconds. I started it up a third time windows loaded and I reached the desktop again and again the laptop shutdown in 30 seconds. I noticed that the laptop was not warm or hot since the I hadn't used it for more than a minute. I started it a fourth time and again it had the same problems but this time I noticed a didn't hear the normal humming of the fan and I don't think it was on for the previous attempts. I have done many more attempts but I get the same results the laptop lasts 15-30 seconds without the fan running. The computer worked normally earlier in the day. I think its the cpu cooling fan but I'm not very tech savvy when it comes to computers so I don't know if this part failure could be causing the laptop to shut down so quickly.

I have no idea. Someone might know more about this but it sounds like someone busted it or it got infected. Also ask your girlfriend abut if she did anything to it. If she says no ask how she might have broken it. From my experience people say they didn't do anything but they did something, they just have no idea what it is.
