I have a friend with a Pavilion ze5240. The laptop will shut off
without warning, whether it is idle or being used. There are other
times when it can run for hours with no problem. HP supposedly fixed
this for her under warranty about 2 years ago. Is it a fan, a power
adapter, battery...? The computer does get rather warm, so my suspicion
is an overheating problem; the random shut down, however, has me
puzzled. I did contact HP, but since the laptop is out of warranty, she
would have to part with $300. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thank you.
