Computer goes dead after using it for a while. It turns off without shutting down. After a few hours I can turn it on again. I am looking for suggestions on what is wrong and how to fix it. Thank you
 
the fan will run as long as its connected to the power.
the cpu heatsink might be the problem
Seems like thermal paste has melted
Try to put thermal paste in between it.
 
I believe I smell a something burning? Does that lend itself to a specific problem?

Also thank you so much for taking time to help. It is so appreciated.
