OMEN 35L Gaming Desktop PC GT16-0000i (9X6A4AV)

Hello all

i just got my Omen 35L the other day and it has been doing something that isn’t normal. Whether during high work load (playing games) or during low workload (watching YouTube) the PC randomly shut down without warning. And starts with a very high fan noise. 

The PC fans get very loud for various lengths of time and although the PC is on it doesn’t transmit any signal to the screen. 

After between 30 seconds and 5 minutes the PC boots back up as normal and doesn’t give any kind of error messages. And it then happens again maybe 30 minutes later. 

Im currently updating the BIOS software, does anyone have any other recommendations?

 

Could there be some packaging left inside that’s causing heating issues?

 

Edit: CPU and GPU Temperatures shortly before the shut down are in the green, approximately 30-50 degrees Celsius

 

Many thanks

Sam
