    Hello

    I have a problem with the Lap Top, HDX18-1070

    Work on the first day on the Laptop, between 1 hour to 3 hours and then suddenly stop working!

    After that, I close the Laptop, and re-operation of the new work between 5 minutes to 15 minutes


    Several experiments have tried did not work for me either by the heat there is no final heat

    CPU temperature of 36C to 46C

    GPU temperature of 45C to 53C

    I hope that you find a solution

    Are you on Battery?
    Make sure if you're not you check your plug .

    Also, check your sleep/shutdown/powersaver settings.

    I remove the battery and you have the same problem and to work without a battery

    Imbalance is not Windows, I've re-downloaded again Windows also suddenly stop


    I extract the battery and the RAM is no good

    Why wonder, knowing Lap Top works in both efficiency

    How do you know? Have you installed Linux and have the same issue? How much room is left on your hard drive? Did you defrag your hard drive?

    What symptoms do you have when it stops working? Does it freeze? Does it turn itself off?

    Also, what work? CPU intensive, graphics intensive?


    What do you mean by re-operation? You turn the computer on? Did you recently update the BIOS, or any drivers?

    Are the vents clean? Do you use a cooling pad? The temperatures you posted don't look bad, but if I understand your situation correctly, you could have an over heating problem.

    I hope this helps. Answering the above questions will help us help you.

    The flashing caps lock light indicates a CPU failure. I think you should call HP and get the motherboard replaced.

    I understand that it is not a total failure but there's definitely something wrong with the CPU or motherboard. You should call support.

    Can you blame anyone for not wanting to call HP? lol :p

    I agree though, sounds like an overheating issue to me.
    Not only the CPU but Sometimes HDD's overheat and cause shutdowns and lockups..

    How many blinks do you get?
    <html>
    <a class='udrline' name="LEDsBlinkOrComputerBeeps">[/URL]

    Symptom: LEDs blink or computer beeps

    During startup, if the diagnostic utilities detect a specific problem with
    hardware components, various LED lights on the keyboard blink a series
    of codes to help identify the cause of the problem. On older models, a
    series of beeps may sound instead of LEDs blinking. The blink codes
    only appear for a short time after pressing the power button. When a
    series of blink or beep codes does occur, the computer will pause and
    then repeat the series of codes. Count the number of blinks or beeps to
    help identify the error condition using the table below. If you miss
    the series of blink or beep codes, restart the computer and wait for a
    series of blink codes or beep codes to occur.
    <tbody valign='top'>
    LED / Beep Component Error Condition
    Blinking battery power LED Battery The AC adapter is attached and the battery is charging, but does not yet have sufficient charge to power the notebook.
    Blink: 1 - Caps Lock/Num Lock CPU CPU not functional
    Blink: 2 - Caps Lock/Num Lock BIOS BIOS corruption failure
    Blink: 3 - Caps Lock/Num Lock Memory Module error not functional
    Blink: 4 - Caps Lock/Num Lock Graphics Graphics controller not functional
    Blink: 5 - Caps Lock/Num Lock System board General system board failure
    Blink: 6 - Caps Lock/Num Lock BIOS BIOS authentication failure

    I thank everyone for their interest in the topic

    Now the problem has been solved, but that changed after a mother and left!!!

    So that the guarantor did not know the problem and contacted me and said need to change the mother board

    Is it the manufacturers fault, or these are HP machines come on!!
