Everything you've mentioned apart from the BIOS update has been done. I can't update the BIOS as the computer doesn't stay on long enough for it to update... sometimes it's not even on long enough to open the BIOS.

Hi,

On friday my computer made a slight bang (nothing loud, but a bang non-the-less) and then the fan(s) started to sound like a vacuum like as if it was trying to cool itself down due to an overheat problem. Then about a minute later the computer shut itself down.

Now everytime I try to boot the computer, it all loads fine but the fan(s) is still going crazy to cool itself down then shuts down. Then if I try to reboot you hear what sounds like an warning alarm then the message comes up: "Warning: Processor Thermal Trip"

But nothing else. I've given it a good clean but no luck and now i'm out of idea's because I don't want to buy something then find out that what I bought to replace wasn't the cause of the problem. All the fans work so as to why it's started to do this is beyond me as it was fine for the last 2 years without problem.
