    Might be some hardware malfunctioning.
    You might need to send it in for service

    Is the laptop entering sleep mode when this happens? I know some of the earlier bios versions had issues with sleep mode but I don't know if that's what is going on with your laptop. You can try updating the bios but you really need to pay attention to the instructions with this type of update or you could brick your machine (ie don't interrupt the update operation until its finished, so no tripping over a power cord or forcing the machine to reboot until its done). You can check HP's site for dv6000 bios updates, just check what bios you have installed first.
