Sudden shutdown / will not power up

After about 15-20 min. of use the notebook would shut down (possible heat related) fan would run at different rates of speed. HP support said to repair the OS with the CD. The cd ran, it said it was preparing to shut down, then the notebook shut off. Now when I try to power up, the screen lights up for half a second, with the sound of the hard drive powering up( also half a second ) then the power shuts off.
What can be done?

I am trying to reload my computer and about 10 minutes into the recovery process it shuts down. I have replace the fan, the hard drive, the battery, the keyboard, the power cord, and memory. Why does it...

90% of the time shutdowns are related to heat problems in the CPU or GPU (Video). The laptop will shutdown to avoid damage. Verify the cooling fins on your heat sink are not clogged as an external cooling fan will not correct this problem. If the fan is running test with a strip of tissue or candle and verify you have air circulation.
If you are certain temperature is not an issue, the next step is to insure you are not having hardware related errors.
You should always start with a completely charged battery and also have your adapter plugged connected.
Finally be sure you are using the original recovery software (incorrect licensing will abort the recovery process).

When I was turning on my laptop after 5 mins. my laptop turning off on its self. I need your advice solution.

When the laptop shuts down and you can't boot up until it has cooled down, then your notebook could have an overheating problem. The CPU shuts down when it overheats (thermal shutdown) and if this problem is not fixed the the CPU will eventually fail.
The overheating problem could be caused by a faulty CPU fan or the fan and hear sink assembly is clogged with dust.
Check the CPU fan and if is does not spin freely then it needs to be replaced. If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust, then remove the dust, you can also use a can of compressed air to clear the dust from the heat sink fins.

My acer aspire 5315 shuts off suddenly and won't restart till it wants to. I replaced the battery, no difference....what's wrong?

This could be a sign that your laptop is overheating. If you touch the laptop while it is running & you find it too hot, make sure that the fan is running properly & that the air ways are not blocked.
You can blow compressed air into the cooling vents of the fan. If you notice clouds of dust coming out, then it might be a good idea to disassemble the laptop, clean the fan & air ways, & reassemble it back. If the fan has failed & is no longer running, it might need to be replaced

I have a dell inspirion 1501 and it just shuts off.

There could be several possiblities for your shutdown issue. Run diags Fn+Power button, see if system power off running diags or in the BIOS. If the system remains running in both, shutdown issue is more than likely software. If it doesnshut off in diags.BIOS, try plowing out the cooling intake and exhaust vents with compressed air. Make sure system is on a hard flat surface where can circulate around the system and the fan is operational. If the fan doesn't work, it will need replacement.
If the system will run in the safe mode then software is likely for the issue and a good antivirus or anti-malware program my be of help

Laptop doesn't work on battery after charging

If you are planning to open the notebook make sure the cpu cooler is mounted flush and has the most possible amount of contact with the cpu for heat transfer. I don't know about yours but normally in bios you can set a fatal temperature shutdown. Try to look up what cpu you have (when you open the case) and see if maybe the temperature is set too low. Then you would be able to reset the temperature to something higher if possible and this would solve the overheating shutdown problem.

TV goes off intermittently

sounds like an intermittent shut down which is heat related. some part , maybe one stuck on a heatsink is warming up and running too much current triggering shutdown.
to find it you can tell what is shutting down with a voltmeter, or you can heat suspected parts with a blow dryer to speed the shutdown .. or freeze spray to see if it goes beyond your shutdown time.
