Sony Vaio pcg-frv37 shutting down suddenly

Hi,

I'm trying to help out a friend who has a Sony Vaio pcg-frv37 laptop
that will run for awhile, then it will shutdown by itself suddenly.

When I can, I've scanned for spyware using Adaware, and that cleaned up
a bunch of stuff. I also did Windows update which worked fine, but when
I tried to run Norton AV, it shutdown while it was scanning (this might
have just been a coincidence), so I couldn't even complete that.

While the machine is running, the fan seems to be running fast (loud),
and when it shuts down, the fan stops also.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim
