Hello,
I am trying to troubleshoot an hp pavilion model dv7-3020sa that shuts down within a minute of boot up. If it has been on at all it shuts down much more quickly. It shuts down right away when powered back on unless you let it sit for several hours. It shuts down in safe mode and regular mode. The problem has gotten progressively worse over time. At this point I barely have time to run anything after it shuts down but I did look at the CPU temps, which i originally thought might be the problem, but they have no time to get very hot anymore...maybe 65 degrees c.
No I'm worried it might be a broken fan on the GPU or something? When it is in windows it will lock up before shutting down and the screen gets all fuzzy when it locks up.
I ordered an air can and a laptop cooler but I don't have high hopes for the laptop cooler.
Any ideas on next steps? I am comfortable taking apart desktop computers but haven't done much with laptops.
Thanks,
Jon
