Mitsubishi HC900 Projector shuts down after 5 minutes.
You have 1 of 2 possible problems.
(1) You need a new lamp.
(2) You have an overheating problem.
Just a quick couple of notes about your projector. It is a DLP projector (not LCD) and as such the machine as no air filters to clean. It does have air intake and air exhaust grilles, but no air filters to clean. This next part comes directly from the owner' manual for your projector:
When the lamp operation time exceeds 2000 hours*1 *2, the projector automatically shuts off and can’t be used until the lamp is replaced and the lamp operation time is reset.
Your machine is designed to give visual warning messages at 1500 hours used, and 1900 hours used. Did you see any visual warning about lamp life over the past few months?
If you were experiencing an overheating problem, a "TEMPERATURE!!" message would flash up on the screen just before the unit shuts down. If there is no warning, you don't have a heat problem.
If you have a replacement lamp available, install it and reset the lmap hours according to your user manual. If you don't have the manual, google it on the web (it available).
Lamp turns off
The solution is a weird one. I had the same problem with my Sony Cienza VPL-HS1. Run for about 5 minutes and then the lamp would go out. The warning would show that Lamp/Cover was an issue. I assumed the lamp had reached its lifespan.
Wrong.
All it was, was the filter sitting in the filter box has a small trigger switch that turns off the lamp as a safety when someone inadvertently opens the cover for the filter.
Well, strangely enough, the box and the cover are sized in a way to expand when they heat up. (which they do aggressively) When they heat up they expand, and ever so slightly move the filter away from the switch far enough to trigger it to the off position (only about 1/64th of an inch).
Thats why when some of you tip your projector on its side it runs ok (gravity pushing the filter back in place).
The solution is to put a tiny strip of duct tape along the far edge (the edge opposite of the switch) of the filter on its plastic surround. This will snug-up the filter harder against the switch. Even when it tries to shift under expansion and contraction, it will not allow the switch to poke out far enough to turn off.
So, a penny of tape does the job!

HC3800 Mitsubishi color wheel model or part number?
The Mitsubishi HC3800 projector uses a color wheel with the model number VLT-HC3800LP. This is the original color wheel that is designed specifically for the HC3800 projector, and it should be able to replace the existing color wheel in your projector. It is important to use the correct color wheel for your projector to ensure optimal performance and avoid any damage to the projector.
You can purchase the VLT-HC3800LP color wheel from Mitsubishi authorized resellers or from the Mitsubishi website. You can also check for other electronic resellers or online marketplaces for availability and pricing. I recommend you to confirm with the seller that the part is compatible with your specific projector model and serial number, before making the purchase.
It's also important to mention that, replacing the color wheel should solve the noise issue you're experiencing. But, it's always recommended to check the projector warranty status, or if the projector is out of warranty, consult with a professional technician before attempting to replace any part of the projector.
