You would have to take it to a shop and have them open it up to get to the cpu fan unless you know and feel comfortable with taking it apart yourself.

May be worth it because if it is indeed the cpu overheating it would account for the random shutdowns. If the fan is working but about to fail then it would stop just long enough, about 15 to 20 seconds and the cpu could overheat. Luckily with today's cpu's they have a thermal shutdown in them.

I HAVE A NEW PROBLEM!
My usb drivers are not working properly.

"This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Windows did not start a related device driver. To learn more, click the Driver tab and then click Driver Details.

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available."
