My computer will begin to startup normally, and then I get a blue screen error message that says "STOP: c0000Z1B {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file)...\SystemRoot\system32\Config\DEFAULT or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent, or not writable. Beginning dump of physical memory. Physical memory dump complete." And then the computer reboots. Also, even when the computer is connected through the AC charger, it still shuts off randomly. Is it fixable? I don't really want to buy a new laptop.
Be cautious, most manufacturers set Windows to power down the hard drive on laptops to increase battery life. It saves battery life but all the turning off and on puts stress on the motors and other moving parts. I have a pretty good side business replacing laptop hard drives after 1.5 to 2 years of use. Something caused Windows to fail, could be a virus, a bad software driver or program or a hard drive beginning to show the symptoms of mechanical wear. I strongly suggest you keep regular backups of any data or pictures you value and check Windows and make sure the hard drive isn?t turning off too soon. In Windows XP go to Start, Settings, Control Panel and double left click on the Power Options icon. In the Power Schemes tab make sure the Turn of hard disks setting is set to at least one hour.

Thanks! I actually did call HP and they said to just try and re-install windows. That seemed to do the trick. I figured that it had something to do with my hard drive.
