Macbook Air Not Working

My Macbook Air recently made a whooshing sound and shut down. Now the only way I'm able to sign back in is via Safe Mode and even then, I frequently encounter the whooshing sound and shut down issue. Is there anything I can do remediate this issue?

MacBook Air keeps shutting off My MacBook Air keeps turning off after about 10 seconds of showing the login screen it’s doesn’t slowly Shit down the screen just goes black. I’ve tried just about everything there is but I can’t get into safe mode because the computer shuts off before I can. I replaced the battery so it’s not the battery I’m really at a loss here is there anything else I’m able to do to figure out why my computer keeps doing this

MacBook Air freezing & Restarting My MacBook Air repeatedly freezes, and then either shuts down or restarts automatically. I started it in 'Safe Mode', and then in normal mode. But this is not resolving the problem. Can you offer a solution?

High fan noise when in Login screen after restarting, on my MacBook. After some recent updates this has started occurring. Restart computer. Something is using resources, so that heat builds up and fans build to max. Eventually the computer shuts down for self protection, presumably. FileVault ON. Try again with FileVault OFF, after decrypting the drive. No building fan, computer stays in sleep. Try again with FileVault ON, same as bullet 1. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015) - Monterey 12.7.4 (21H1123) The workaround is to either disable FileVault; or login immediately after a restart. Apple please fix this. This is a more recent annoyance. [Re-Titled By Moderator]

Can you keep it up and running long enough to run diagnostics? If the answer to that is "no", you need to take it to Apple for evaluation.
