dell laptop shuts down during a fresh windows install no errors report
i took the chance and bought a broken dell vostro 3560 red i7 3632QM, the problem with it was no power, no lights at all when the charger gets plugged in the charger's light goes off, so i took it for motherboard repairs where the technician replaced 6 mosfets and other chips on the board so i got it back and proceed to power it up and install windows 7, firstly it didn't want the GPT partition so i converted the HDD to MBR, all well windows started loading files and the bar proceeds to full (laptop shuts down) and then past the copying files stage then expanding files the furthest it got was to 9% (laptop shuts down) and sometimes in between the laptop just shuts down on it's own but when i power up the laptop and just leave it idling it does not shut down at all, i did post into bios and run full system diagnostics with no errors found, later i noticed the power flex ribbon had a broken wire on the side between the four wires. what i also have done when seeing the laptop shut down was i removed all flex ribbons from the motherboard except power button, HDD, speakers, cpu fan,lcd screen and the second part of the motherboard which olugs in and goes to the usb and network ports. i have given up now because all the wires broke off from the power flex cable, but i would still love to fix this laptop, it's a nice machine still 4 cores 8 threads cpu and decent graphics. i can get into the bios without any issues, the HDD i have is formatted to MBR i got the laptop with the HDD and RAM removed where i had spare ram by me, i contacted the guy i bought it from to find out exactly which RAM he had in the laptop still waiting for an answer on that he i away till sunday. any suggestions would be great thank you all
