Mine did the same thing. I read some other forums and they suggested opening it up and removing the dust. I did that and it didn't work.

Then I read another forum, and it said buy a can of compressed air and clean the color wheel by blowing the dust off the color wheel. It worked and my projector has better color than it did when is started shutting off.
