  Turn is very likely a hardware problem and in your case, most likely an overheatng issue. Repaired by the manufacturer or a local service company that specializes in laptop computers (avoid the Geek Squad and any other department store; they are all the terrible).

• New hard drive for compaq presario c500 running vista. I want to switch to windows 7

  I'm fixing my laptop aunts. He a presario c500 compaq running windows vista. I bought a new hard drive. I would like to install windows 7. She could get windows 7 discs for free when she got off the computer, windows 7 was not yet. They have offered free windows 7 for people who bought the PC just before its release. Is it too late? I guess it's too late. Is there anyway I can get windows 7 for free? Or is there any discount for the upgrade to vista. I can't afford windows 7 discs.

  In my opinion, it's too late to get a free version or price reduced from Windows 7. This offer was available about two or three years, if my memory is good.

  You can Contact HP and ask.

  Best regards

• Satellite series is turning off itself

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop which is the series of satellites. It s quite old, as I've had around 2001-2002. It's a portable Windows XP Home.

  I had just done a bit of problems with it, viruses, etc.. However, after the recent removal of virus, the laptop worked well up until now.
  Now the problem is that the laptop lights well, everything goes normally, and when my little brother play a game like Counter Strike, after, say 10-15 minutes, the laptop turns off completely! When I start it again, it starts normally, no errors reported. I need to know what the problem is!

  Any help, tips, advice and recommendations are welcome and much appreciated!
  Thanks a bunch!

  Hello Umair

  From your description of the problem is overheating. The laptop is old enough, and I imagine that a lot of dust. Dust blocks the cooling fans and the material cannot be cooled properly. The result is overheating and suddenly switching OFF. It's a kind of mechanism to protect and every time when material reaches the temperature level critical the laptop switches OFF.

  All you have to do is to remove the dust. After having this laptop works perfectly again.

  It will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have. When you start the import procedure is the use of the CPU to the maximum? Can you please check it in the Task Manager?

• HP 15-r011na: laptop turns off when it is attached cable ca

  Hi, I recently picked up the upgrade of Windows 10 and since then have had problems with the laptop switching power, do not know if it is related to Windows 10 but seems a coincidence!  When I got close I use the power on the screen completely closes the button and the laptop.  When I turn it on it's ok, if I have the AC cable disconnected (i.e. using battery power) but if I have the AC cable the screen goes off, but then goes black and seems to have turned off again, and I have to press the power button to put on the.  Also, if I connect the cable so that the laptop is on it goes black immediately, and if I delete it the screen comes alive again.  Can someone tell me what's going on that I have no idea about these things, and it makes me absolutely crazy!  I would really appreciate some advice please.

  Hi @Greenjack67 ,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your laptop 15-r011na HP TouchSmart and the laptop turns off when it is attached cable ca. Here is a link to test and calibrate your battery for Windows 10.

  Note Remove all USB devices. Disconnect all devices of non-essential, as these can cause some problems.

  Plug the power supply directly into a different wall outlet. Do not connect it a power strip, surge arrester, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.

  You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

  Here is a document that shows how update the drivers that do not work correctly with Windows 10.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• My laptop turns off suddenly in use

  My laptop turns off without any warning every 20-30 minutes

  and he died 6-7 times a day.
  I use Windows Vista Home
  My laptop was plugged into the electric current (I remove the top battery)
  I tried to boot with safe mode and still, it turns off.
   
  Can someone give me advice to understand the problem
  I was very grateful to hear it.
  Thank you

  A common cause of this kind of behavior is overheating. One thing to try:

  Unplug the unit and remove the battery. Use a vacuum and target different cooling openings. Replace the battery and reconnect it. Check the operation.

• Pavilion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own

  My Pavillion dv7 - 4183cl laptop turns off its own without any warning or error messages and then restarts asking power on the passsord, etc. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium. Occurrences are more frequent over time.

  The first thing I would check is your laptop fan. You hear it works while the laptop is on, or it is disabled? If the fan fails, the laptop overheats. To protect themselves, the laptop turns off. It could also be that you have little dust blocks the air fan. The best option is to have someone to disassemble the laptop and clean, but some people have managed with the help of compressed air. The problem with this is that it blows back into the laptop. Perhaps vacuum?

  A farily common problem with most laptops is the integrated graphics processors. Over time, the GPU becomes disattached from the motherboard. If this happens, the laptop will be closed or does not start at all. Generally however, there isn't a lot of attention if that is the case, the computer stops working one day.
