    You could try using some compressed air to shoot out any dust or debris stuck in the vents or fans. Otherwise, don't use your computer until you get it fixed. Your computer shuts down to prevent itself from overheating and damaging your components.

    You definitely should make sure not to turn it back on again, as it can overheat and the results could damage your computer. Use a high pressure air vacuum or blower to dust away from the fans and bring it to a repair place.

    bro,

    u said that ur pc's is just 2 months old.

    so why to take the problems in ur hand when u could get ur problems solved for free.

    ur pc's must have a warranty period.

    just go to the gallery or call the customer care service centre.

    if ur pc is out of warranty then just open ur cpu,

    use a blower instead of vaccum cleaner since vaccum cleaner will blow up the small parts of cpu such as resistors , semi-conductors, micro chips.

    :-)

    Contact HP, it is under warranty and any attempt to fix it will invalidate the warranty.
