I uploaded on yt because i dont' know how to explain this.
I already checked the ram, cpu, gpu and hdd.
It's not a constant problem. Sometimes i can log in and do my thing without any problems(the temperature and the frequency of the cpu is normal) , i can put in the sleepmode and everything is okay if i want to open it again.But if i click shutdown, the problem appears again when i press the power button to start. The problem persist even with/without the battery in and the power cable plugged in.
The bios is updated and i tried everything(cmos reset, hdd replacement, reinstall windows). I tried the stress test and a gpu benchmark and everything was fine.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I appreciate your time and efforts.
I understand you have already tried the steps and this seems to be a hardware issue where the Bios needs to be flashed. You would have to contact HP phone support for a hardware service as the motherboard may require a tattoo/Bios Flash. Please fill in the product details to get the tech support number.

Step 4. Scroll down and click: HP contact options - click on Get phone numberCase number and phone number appear.

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:
Have you made any software or hardware changes made on the PC?
When was the last time it worked (date)?
Was any update/reset interrupted, recently?
In the meantime, let's try these steps here:
If the computer still turns off every few seconds, try with an alternate adapter and/or remove the battery and try turning on the computer without the battery,

Yes, i replaced the original hdd with a 120 gb ssd hyperx because the old sshd had some problems(failed in hdd test). But i don't think the hdd was the problem because the problem is still there when the hdd is unplugged.
I think the bios is corrupt or something like that. Today i tried a bios restore with a recovery usb flash drive. I followed the steps and everything and it's shutting down exactly when the recovery screen shows up. I can't even update it to the latest version(i have version f68 from 22 jul 2016 and the latest is f68 rev. a from jul 26 2016). I think that the problem is the bios chip.
Thank you!
