Product: HP probook 4520s
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)
Hello first timer here 🙂
I have a probook 4520s with the i5 and ATi GPU and around a month ago it started shutting down on its own. I tried cleaning it and changing thermal paste but last few days it would just power off no matter what I was doing (from watching movies to gaming) and quite often as well. Today the laptop wont turn on at all when I press the button it seems to start up for a couple seconds and then powers off then repeats that same thing for as long as it is connected to power (I have tried taking the battery out and also tried pressing the power button for 30 sec with no power source connected) any suggestions?
