Travelmate 290 starts then shuts down

Travelmate 290 laptop is 4 yrs old. Was working fine. Reinstalled recovery cds due to laptop running really slow. Installed only antivirus and a few kids programs. All of a sudden, now upon startup, it just shuts down. Sometimes after login when starting up programs. Sometimes before even gets to windows xp screen. Hear fan immediately after hitting start button but not after.

Computer shuts down and tries to reboot in an endless cycle
This sounds like a heat related issue.
Are you sure that the CPU fan is running and that the vent ducts are all clear?
You maye be able to get it cleaned out with a can of compressed air.
Is the computer new? If so, then it is probably not dust, but if it is more than a couple of years old, then that is probably the problem.
