HP Presario V2000 Laptop Turning off after a few minutes on

My laptop V2000 began to turn off suddenly recently after turning it on. I read many articles as to how to fix this problem but I still experience the same. I have replaced the battery with a new one. I have also replaced the AC Adaptor. I have tried per recommendations to take out the battery and run it with just the AC Adaptor but still turns off after a few minutes. I have been asked about the BIOS and to update them, however, when I try to update the lates BIOS, I end up with the laptop turning off. Any ideas?

Thanks
J.

Sounds more like the CPU is over heating. This is a fairly common fault on laptops after dust hair etc build up in the fins of the heatsink from the cpu.
After it blocks up, the fan can not push air through it to cool the cpu down and so the laptop goes into thermal shutdown to protect itself.

Whenever turning on the laptop it gives and error stating ' 105 - unsupported wireless device detected. sytem halted . remove the device and restart

Have you recently tried to update to windows 7 or vista. The wireless device in this laptop is an older Broadcom wireless device and will not work newer Windows versions well at all. Even in windows XP you have to update the driver. It is available here.

Display Problem Black turns Red

sounds like you have a loose connection ....either into the screen or into the motherboard....the connection between board and screen runs through the hinge brackets and often comes loose after machine has been opened and closed a lot.....need to be comfortable opening up laptops to check the cables as it can be tricky to get to the back of the screen where the end of the ribbon cable is..
