Sounds Like the GPU overheated and de-soldered itself from the motherboard.. There are a lot of these out there. Check h.p.'s website to see if it's been re-called.

I think your laptop power supply was fail.

I think your laptop power supply was fail.
Its not if you look at all the forums and problems people have had it is a known fault and has had a recall by HP
On a separate note I am so sick of HP DV's 3 problems in 3 years !
