You cleaned inside, using what?
Nothing on the screen, even boot screen?

on thne fan i wiped all the dirt etc... off the fan and that area

when the computer would shut it self off there was no boot screen at all it would light up for about 10 seconds that shut off till i opened it up and looked i truly don't know what i did but it seems to be okay so far it has blacked out the screen once like the below

the screen was completly black no response when i hit the space bar i thought at first it was the screen saver but that wasn't it
after putting it back together the lower part of the screen where the task bar is was all that was showing the rest of the screen went black lasted about 10 seconds the came back to the normal screen i am truly stumped

sounds to me like the dll error is a key part of whats wrong. Since you tried a repair on it but had no success, I suggest using this tutorial at

I hope this helps you.

You don't do this.
You use a can of compressed air.
That's the only safe way.
