Hello. I'm sorry if this has been addressed in another thread. I found some similar topics, but I'm not sure it's quite the same as the problem I'm having. My laptop has recently been acting a little flaky. The first problem I noticed was that when I was running a system scan with Windows Defender my computer would sometimes just shut off. Then I noticed my CD/DVD burner would disappear in Explorer and device manager at random. Even more recently, it would have trouble coming out of hibernation (it would just sit on the HP screen and I would have to remove the power cord and the battery and put them back to wake it up fully). Finally, when I would go into the BIOS to check for the CD/DVD drive it would shut off just like when it was scanning.
I want to start by saying I only posted these under one thread wondering if they might be related issues. Also, I have tried the various registry fixes that are out there for CD/DVD problems, but none has helped for even a whole day and might have been coincidence anyway. I know the shutting off problem could be overheating, but I wasn't sure if there could be any other explanations.
My laptop is an HP dv8130us. Turion64, XP Media center SP2, ATI Radeon express 200M, 1 GB RAM.
I would greatly appreciate any help. I am pulling my hair out trying to do search after search and coming up mostly empty. Thanks!
