    I haven't turn on the laptop for awhile (1 Month), i7-4700HQ + 780M. The bios still stock, never update before. But not sure why this issue suddenly come back. It start with the fan speed suddenly max out for the CPU and GPU side and follow by sharp Beep for few times before it died. Initially i thought it was temperature issue. I download HW Monitor and found that the Max CPU Temp is 47c.

    I tried re-seat the ram, and re-paste both CPU and GPU.
    I found that the fan speed is on max even i just idle on Bios.
    I'm suspecting the Maximum fan speed is the culprit that cause the laptop to shutdown. is there a way for us as user to control the fan speed?

    If you manually trigger max fan speed, does it get louder? I ask as it might be possible that its one of the temp sensors gone haywire and with the stock bios, fans only go to about 80% on auto.

    Yes i think so do, but just realized mine is without the button for max fan speed, i google-ed and found that some version have the FN+1 to get max fan, but mine doesn't have :| i wish i can find way to change the fan speed to 50% so i can monitor whether its the fan.

    Is there a way to check the Temp Sensor?

    There are embedded sensors in nearly all components that can generate heat on the motherboard. What HWInfo does is displaying those values. You should take a screenshot of the HWInfo display with all sensor values and upload it here so that we can help you troubleshoot.
