Hi, i have this HP pavilion dv2500 laptop. i sent it to HP for repair couple of time, but every time i sent they said its been fixed and so and so were replaced (like fans and all). I still have the same problem. When i start my laptop it works fine for 2-5 or sometimes even for 30 mins, but eventually the screen goes off and after 2 mins or so laptop goes to sleep mode. Guys any help??
Go into your control panel and under power saving turn off the sleep mode settings also check power saving sleep mode settings in bios by pressing f2 at boot also check battery options in security settings hope this helps and yes hp techs are just high paid plumbers reading memos from screens so there not usually much help lol
thank you so much for your prompt reply. I did the changes in control panel/power mgmt. But i could not do the required changed in the BIOS as much of the settings are either hidden or not present and i do not have bios pwd setup. So, how do i change sleep setting in BIOS pls?
you dont a bios password is the most secure password you can have ,dell does offer support for resetting abios if its ibm your screwed.you can download your models keybord short cut key program to use the keyboard as hot keys if that doenst work then try a reinstall operating system as last resort,if that doesnt do it thats all your options although one of those should work

This is caused by burn out of the Nvidia graphics chip on the motherboard. You need a new motherboard. This is due to a design flaw (the subject of a class action against HP in the USA). I have had two motherboards fail on me in this way so far - do not expect any worthwhile support from the HP "support" people they are all in India and can hardly communicate outside of their simple repetative scripts. Its impossible to escape them - I tried communicating with head office but all you get is contact details back to the incomprehensible Indian call centre. I strongly recommend against ever purchasing from HP again.

Are you running on battery or AC? Try using the power cord, remove the battery and see if it continues. I have seen a battery that is on its last legs do some weird things to a computer. Also, check your power management setting. Control panel, power, and set the computer to "always on" just to see if it could be a power management setting. If none of this works, i would back up all your files, and try to reload win xp from scratch.
