    HP 530 with Windows 7 (sudden power-downs)


    Hello, I am using my girlfriends HP 530 laptop to write this. Basically, the problem is that since installing Windows 7 from Windows Vista, the laptop has been cutting out without any warning. It isn't going into standby or any other power mode, as it starts from bootup when pressing the power button afterwards. This occurs even when the battery is almost fully charged and plugged into the mains.

    I have tried flashing the BIOS to the latest version. Recently, the laptop was displaying these symptoms from overheating, but the laptop was also making a really loud sound. We had to dismantle it and found that a large amount of dust had clogged up the vents, which we immediately removed and then put back together. This was only two months ago, since then we have not been leaving the laptop on soft surfaces such as duvets etc.

    I have no idea what this could be, I have changed the power saving settings and updated all the drivers.

    Does anyone have any experience of this problem?

    Hi and welcome

    Being a cat owner yep. can you go into event viewer (type eventvwr in search) go to th windows logs>application tab. You need to look for things around the same time as the problem. It migh be a good idea to wait untill the problem happens then go to limit the amount of info to look thru. You are looking for errors (they have red in the left column) that relate to the problem they will either be in application or system check both. when you find the errors note the event ID and source code and let us know wha they are.
