Every time i turn my laptop on after thirty seconds it shuts off. It isn't a virus because it was working fine before and one day i'm playing a game on the laptop and the picture got really choppy and it started to lag. It is about 3 years old, could it just have possibly died?

I don't need to see it. I'm asking if you can get into it. You know when your computer turns on how theres a bunch of words or a symbol of the manufacturer? Somtimes there's a small messege saying to press a certain key for "set up" or something similar. Does that make sense?
