I’m trying to install manjaro xfce on a dell inspiron 15R from a usb,now I can boot into manjaro so the code start running and the desktop pops up with the welcome screen but it only lasts for a few seconds before it shuts the laptop down,and this is my first experience with linux so I have no experience on how to deal with this.

Firmware checklist for EFI Systems
-
Disable CSM (Legacy) boot
-
Disable Secure Boot
-
Enable AHCI
-
Use latest available firmware
-
Disable Optane Memory and Rapid Storage Technology (RST)
-
Disable RAID option
-
Disable Fast Boot (if unable to boot from USB)
the most important are: secure boot disabled, fastboot disabled, faststartup disabled in windows, and AHCI enabled
and use Ventoy to flash iso
Hi, I just want to throw in one thought, just in case the above wouldn’t solve the problem.
Could it be that your laptop is overheating? I know of at least three laptops that shut down because of high tempereture, that had about the same age as yours. One was a dell inspiron too. My wife could save it by cleaning it and renewing the heat paste. I don’t want to emphase this, haven’t done this myself, but could be an option if heat is the problem.
Can you load into another Operating System? Maybe you have a dual boot or maybe another linux live distro? Either to confirm high temperetures or to exclude them? Or maybe your BIOS gives you some information.
