My 5 year old Dell Studio 1558 laptop was running fine until today. I was using it today for an hour or so and then it suddenly turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it back on, it would work for a few seconds to a minute or two and then turn off.
Here is what I have tried so far:
I removed the charger and the battery, held the power button for 30+ seconds and connected the charger and turned on the laptop without the battery. But that didn't work.
I noticed that whenever I left the laptop powered off for 10 minutes or so and then turned it back on, it would stay powered on for a minute or two. But whenever I tried turning it back on as soon as it turned off, it would turn off within 5-10 seconds. The more frequently I tried to turn it on, the faster it would turn off. Is this an overheating issue? I need some guidance.
(I'm also sure there is no problem with the boot drive (SSD). I tried leaving the laptop powered on after entering the bios, I also tried booting live usb operating systems and all of them ran fine for a few seconds- a minute before the laptop turned off. The battery is in good condition.)
