Laptop Shuts Down during OS Installation. Lenovo3000 G410

Hello everyone. I am going to share to you on how to cope up a laptop that will shutdown during installation. It is bothersome to install the operating system to a laptop where you are about in the middle of the installation or you are about to finish the installation and then it shut down. You turn on the laptop and start the installation again from the beginning.

Idea? During the setup process, the PROCESSOR is the most used or works hard during the installation. Since it is mostly used and works hard, it generates more heat. The installation takes up about one and a half hour or two depending on the laptop speed. During this length of time, the generation of heat is increasing even though the processor fan is spinning to cool down the heat. When the heat reaches the highest temperature, the system detects it and force the system to shutdown to protect the whole unit for damage. We call this as thermal shutdown.

I have encountered this problem three time already.

What I did?
I open the back cover of the laptop in which the processor is located. See picture below.





Some laptops processor is located underneath the keyboard, so you have to remove it without disconnecting the ribbon cable and exposed the processor.

Now I positioned the laptop in vertical position. Just like the picture below.




Now I placed a small usb fan and pointing to the processor to cool it down during installation. See picture below.




You can use any kind of fan. Electric fan is better.
After setting this up, you can now start the installation and I am sure you can finished installing your operating system.

I hope this post is helpful to you and good luck.
