1 Display issue, screen turning on for a while, then goes black.
Further down the road since I originally posted this;
I opened the computer, installed a new HDD, vacuumed out all kinds of dust and unplugged the vents, both by the blowers and also air intake at the bottom.
Now the screen stays on longer, sometimes even for a whole hour. But it still does shut down intermittently. I did the flash light shining into the screen, and indeed, my stuff is still there, but very dark. Any informed guess at what this means?

Take a flashlight and shine it into the display at a sharp angle can you see the desktop icons? If you do then you know the issue is within the displays backlight circuit. Let us know your results.

Thank you Dan again. It turns out that I will await my new HDD, and install it properly. The p.o. just told me that he did not re-connect all the leads after removing his old HDD. So I will come back and report on the display once I reconnect all of them. I hope I did not do any damage trying to boot it with the connectors loose. The reving fans are now explained as well...
