HP Pavilion 15p 254np (energystar)

[Carlos_Veloso]

Good evening,

My name is Carlos and I bought this pc 1 year and 6 months ago.

After 6 months the laptop shutdown time after time when I was playing.

I thougth that maybe was happening because I had update the OS to Windows 10 that made the pc overheat.

The game have the follow requirements:

• OS: Windows® 7/Vista/XP
• Processor: 2.1GHz processor or better
• RAM: 2 GB RAM
• Graphic Card: Video card must be 256 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9-compatible with support for Pixel Shader 3.0
• DirectX: Version 9.0c
• Disc Space: 15 GB free space

I think you know my laptop specs.

After 6 months that I bought this laptop, I contacted HP support to know if someone could help me with my pc overheating.

They tell me to do a EUFI analysis...

Connection test: Passed 05-12-2015

Motherboard: Passed 05-12-2015

CPU test: Passed 05-12-2015

I/O Connections: Passed 05-12-2015

Network connection test: Passed 05-12-2015

among various analysis they told me to send the laptop to spain to repair the laptop.

After 15 days they sent me the laptop from:
