On my dell inspiron N5010-P10F001, I tried installing a software from sourceforge.net.
After the download started, chrome displayed the warning page that this website may harm my computer and then just after that, my laptop automatically shut down.
When I tried to start it again, it showed options to either launch the windows startup repair or to start windows normally and even if I don't do anything, my laptop automatically shut itself down.
I also noticed that after pressing the power button, laptop goes off exactly after 19 seconds but if I press ENTER while booting, it lasts for almost 30 seconds.
It also shows the Blue Screen Of Death sometimes and it displayed the code: STOP:0x000000F4 (0x0000000000000003, 0xFFFFFA800756FB30, 0xFFFFFA800756FE10, 0xFFFFFA8000C3D
I was somehow able to boot it once to a previous state after the startup repair and everything worked fine but as I searched something on browser, it shut itself down and hadn't booted after that again.
Its fan is working properly.
So I just want to know that could it be a malware or just some problem with my hardware?
