Hi Forgive if I'm posting in the wrong place...I'm New to the forum and have a question..
I have a laptop its not that old about 3 years old... I have been having problems with it turning off while I am using it, it turns right back on by itself after with a black screen that says "window error recovery" I contacted HP they had me do a "Power Drain" they also had me turn off my laptop and then turn it back on and press f10 repeatedly to get to the BIOS. I'm not sure if this worked since I just did this a few mins ago... But am hoping if anyone can help with anything else I can do if these steps didn't work.
Thanks in Advance Can you provide some more detail on this "Power Drain" procedure?  Exactly what did they have you do?  And, what did they have you do in the BIOS screens?

Did you computer have Vista on it when new, or was that an upgrade?Thanks you for your reply, Well with the Power Drain they had me take out the Battery and disconnect the laptop from all power supply and press and hold the power button for 30 sec. after they told me to put everything back and turn on and press f10 repeatedly and I did that and a BIOS screen came out, and it said do you want to exit and save all the changes(I had not changed anything at this point) but, since the HP man told me I didn't need to do anything just exit after getting to that BIOS page... He said my problem would be fixed once I reached that stage, So far the Laptop has not turned off on me yet... This is all I have done, I also have Driver Detective and that did a few updates on my laptop as well but it still turned off after those updates so that didn't help.... Get rid of Driver Detective...you are asking for problems.Are you for really I just paid 40 buck on that thing,  Did they rip me off?? Quote from: patio on April 22, 2009, 11:03:25 AM
