My laptop goes off on it's own then I'll hear the fan rolling for a few secs then it stops

If I try to on it again, the button lights will come on and the fan will make noise then it will go off on it's own within 5-10 secs.

The laptop is a HP Elitebook 8460p.

Pls help

What is the health status of your battery?
Does your system power on without a battery? If yes, try to power it without a battery.
If it's still the same try another battery. After this we would know the next thing to troubleshoot.

I've been using the battery since I bought it in 2017

I've tried to switch it on without a battery, but the problem still persists.

It's probably the processor and graphics card paste drying out and not conducting the heat way fast enough so, it's over heating.

Ensure the fan is working fine then try get paste ... Scrape off the old one and put new... Or get a computer engineer to do that ... U may change the cooking fan too ...

I have hp elitebook 8540p with same issue ...

Had same issue but had to tweak the speed ... Put maximum speed at 70% when on high performance and 65% when on balanced ...

It's been working for me since a year ....

I use the laptop to render 3d animated motion graphics / video editing

Thanks bro.

The fan is working fine
How do I tweak the speed?

I use it primarily for graphics designing

Cleaning the air vent and the fan could give you a short term solution. Why not do a thorough 'servicing' for your Laptop because the MOBO must have been attack with dust. Check my signature if you're in Lagos.
