why does my hp pavilion keep shutting down

Route44.I am almost afraid to tell you this.but, today, when I tried to start my pc, it started loading, so I hit f10, thinking that I would try a recovery.but I chickened out and just did a basic test.which was fine.then, when the computer fully loaded, I ran PC doctor.all tests that I did were fine.I was checking other stuff, and all was fine.then, after about 85 minutes, I connected to the internet.and, so far, so good.I have been online for about 30-35 minutes, and the computer has been working fine for about 2 hours.I am almost afraid to breath on it.because all the tests were fine, it seems to me that it could still be the power, because there was no test for that.all the motherboard, hard drive etc., tests passed.

I would be willing to buy a new one.doesn't sound too hard to replace.but if it isn't that, then I am sure I wouldn't be able to return it.besides the fact that, other than online, I don't know where to buy it! I live in a very small city in upstate NY.an hour away from Syracuse or Rochester.any ideas? Unfortunately, I do not have any friends who know anything about computers!!! After your last post, I also checked online and found the same poor reviews.there was one place that suggested to 'reset' the power selection, which I did.at that time, I also made sure that all connections were tight (I had done that before, but I did it again).the computer loaded up fine, and I actually was reading a few emails.did a short online survey (I do a lot of them.) and as soon as it was finished, the computer shut down.aaarrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!!Īs far as these units known for frying motherboards.this might be the reason why, in summer of 2008, I was having similar problems, and contacted HP.they replaced the hard drive and the DVD+RW.hmmmmm
