My computer was working just fine this morning but when I moved it back to my dorm it now shuts off randomly a few minutes after startup. I don’t think it’s a heating issue but I could be wrong I also cleaned out the insides and the problem persisted. Please tell me what might be wrong and how I can fix it.

    Most common thing to go wrong when moving a computer is RAM or GPU getting dislodged. Try unmounting and remounting those components. Computer components aren’t as delicate as you might want to believe.

    Other thing that could have gone wrong is that you’re booting off a HDD. Moving a computer with an HDD could potentially be catastrophic. Would make sense that it boots up for a second, then fails if this is the case. Can you confirm any of this information?
