Hey guys,
Over the past week or so, my laptop has been acting odd. When I power it on, it starts up quietly with almost no fan noise. Around the 2-minute mark during booting, the fans spike to maximum speed for about 30 seconds—then it powers off. I initially thought this was due to overheating, but the temperature readings never went above 41°C before it shut down.

I’ve tried resetting the system using Windows Reset Tools and reformatting everything to rule out software issues. I’ve also monitored the task manager, but no extreme spikes were noticed.

Interestingly, every roughly 10 restarts the fans remain calm and stay on without problems. However, when I put it into sleep mode or restart it again, the issue resurfaces. I’m really unsure what to do next.

Details:
Gigabyte M5
Processor: 11th Gen Intel
i5-11400H @ 2.70GHz
RAM: 16 GB
System: Windows 11 Home
Graphics Card: 128 MB Intel UHD Graphics
