My Pavilion has an issue that is about to throw me over the edge. The computer will shut it self down after just being on for a few minutes. Its not always at the same time this issue happens, although it always happens within 5 minutes. It isnt the hard drive because it was changed out when this issue started. The thing that makes this even more odd is the fact that when it shuts down on its own, the power light on the front remains on, even if i unplug the power cable. It always takes about 10 minutes before it will allow me to turn it back on at all. This is getting very aggorvating and i am fixing to just scrap the computer once and for all. Can you please help me out with this issue at all?
Remove the battery by following these steps:
a. Turn the computer upside down with the front panel
toward you.
b. Slide and hold the battery release latch to the left.
(The front edge of the battery disengages from
the computer.)
c. Lift the front edge of the battery up and swing it back.
d. Remove the battery.

Well, i do not think that it is a heat issue. Secondly, i used an Ohm meter to test the circuitry of all the fans, case buttons, power supply, etc. I am not able to get into the system log through windows because it never makes it that far. I took out the CPU fan, and all the sinks... cleanes the minor amount of dust off of those. I have NOT reseated the ram, which i will do immediately and i will post what happens with that. Thanks guys, great support so far
Oh, i meant to post the fact that it is an immediate hard shutdown, never the shutdown process. It sometimes doesnt even make it to windows before it shuts off. And, why would the power light even stay on after it shuts down and after i remove the power cord?
Hi Just a couple of questions.
1. Is it doing a hard shutdown? As in the power is just cutting out? or is it going through the shutdown process?
2. Are the any recurring errors being logged in the system event log? To view the event log go to Start -> Run -> Type eventvwr and go ok.
