Hey All, I have a HP Pavilion zv5000 Laptop here and upon receiving it I was told it just shuts off when trying to boot it up.
I have been playing with it and it does just that...it gets to the windows splash screen and then once it leaves there (and now if it even gets there) it just shuts off.
I have done a memory test and HD test (short test as it won't staying running but 2 minutes at most) and both results were fine. I have tried to use an XP cd to do some stuff and it still just shuts off.
I am thinking it is something heat related as the longer i play with it...the amount of time it stays on is shorter. Its been off all night now and I tried to start it this morning and it was on for maybe a minute and just shuts off. I am on the verge of just taking it to an HP dealer and letting them diagnose it.
Any Ideas??
