So I have a HP Pavilion Dv8000 that I am fixing for a friend. I am cmoputer savy enough to take it all apart and put it back together, but I'm stumped. His computer sometimes shuts down a few minutes to few seconds after staring up. If it makes it like 15 min, in and doesn't fail it wont fail until he starts it up again. It won't make it more than 1min, wiht the battery in. I opened it up and cleaned the fan well, and the temps before it crashes are around 30-45 C. The shut down is like it got unplugged as a desktop. No warning nothing. The heatsink and fan are clean. It won't stay on long enough for a HDD cheak.
The fan is very inconsitant and won't spin all the time just spins well than turns off and than starts spinning again. Any Ideas? Thank You I am running windows XP
