Aside from the issues with a bad fan or dust accumulation, the location of the laptop is important. If you place it on your lap the air vents on bottom of unit will be obstructed by your body resulting in overheating and a thermal shutdowmn

Overheating When the CPU overheats then it will shut down (i.e. thermal overload) and won't boot up again until it has cooled down. If this is the problem is not fixed then the CPU will eventually fail.
A faulty fan causes the problem or the fan and heat sink assembly are clogged with dust.
Check the CPU fan to see if it spins freely, if not replace the fan.
If the fan and heat sink is clogged with dust the remove the dust and make sure the vents are clear and dust free. Use a small brush and can of compressed air to do this.

You need to do one more thing in addition to removing the battery. Make the AC Power is unplugged. Next hold down the power button for about 20 seconds. This will make sure that all the power is removed from the system. Doing this should reset the system. Next plug in the AC Power and the notebook should turn on.

Let me know if you have any more problems or questions.

SOURCE: how do i unlock my laptop

If it takes ages to boot up and switch off, sounds like virus/malware infection.
Boot into safe mode with network support (usually f8 on boot up)
run a good malwate scanner like Malwarebytes(free)
Microsoft also has its Security suite that is free and has windows defender built in.
also CC cleaner is a good program for removing all the rubbish from your pc and for stopping unwanted programs starting up at boot up

Hi.

Even though HP laptop are very good and sylish they are prone to getting hot and after time the motherboards do fail.
I wouldn't buy a refurbished motherboard as you can run into the same problem again. If you want another motherboard for the laptop then I suggest that you buy a new one, however they can be quite expensive but that would depend on how much you like the laptop itself.

You could sell the laptop for parts which would go towards another make of laptop.




Regards.

Hi:
If you do a little research, you will see others with similar issues. Do you ever have the fan start running when it gets hot? Most likely your fan isn't turning on. Some people have had success with updating the BIOS to the newest version, and others have removed the bottom coverscreen to the cooling fan and kept removing dust from it. but their fan was just running, and clogged, not running.

One word of caution , Updating the BIOS is not for the faint of heart or for the inexperienced computer person, as it can ruin your motherboard if you do it wrong. It is worth doing though, but follow instructions, or have a pro do it for you!

Blue screen with memtest continuosly running for several hours will never get passed start up

Have you tried replacing your RAM? Your current RAM stick has likely gone "belly up" / "Road kill." Remove it and replace with another stick that matches the spec's of what you're removing. This is your MOST LIKELY fix.

Laptop battery charging problem

Excessive heat could ruin a battery. You might just want to get another battery for it (check ebay or Lenovo.com).

One other thing to try is to run it on battery until it is forced to shut down and then let it set that way without turning it off for half an hour to completely discharge the battery, then recharge it fully again. See if that might help refresh the battery.

Bios Stuck

sounds like a thermal issue, check your coolers. remember if you are trying this after running your system for an hour, the heat sinks may be hot. be careful not to burn yourself if your CPU gets to hot your system will freeze like this, also once it gets this hot it will freeze in the bios too.
