HP Z1 Workstation: sudden shutdowns
09-07-2017 12:37 AM

My HP Z1 Workstation turns off arbitrarily. No shut down, suddenly the power is gone. No matter whether Linux or Windows, also in the BIOS menu it can happen. Sometimes it happens several times in succession, then again several days not. A temperature problem? The graphics card already exchanged: No effect. In the BIOS menu the fan speed increased: No improvement. HWMonitor does not show any conspicuous temperatures, but it does not show any temperatures concerning the motherboard.
How to find the error? A well-known phenomenon?

Hi BGarbe,
Greeting for the day!!
For abruptly shutdown first we have update the BIOS and chipset, if same issue download HP Support Assistant and check, If same issue suggest to run the UEFI diagnostic by pressing f2 and check if any hardware failure,
If any Failure in hardware, please contact HP.

Hi BGarbe,

OK, now please do the complete UEFI Diagnostic test by pressing f2 and check any hardware failure in the unit,
If any failure, note down failure code and while performing UEFI also system restarting means suspecting issue may in SMPS/ Motherboard.
please contact HP or log a case through web portal.

Hello Maria, thanks for this interesting contribution. Unfortunately, I have no solution. But since the end of the summer I have had no further incident. I believe that a component is measuring falsely a too high temperature and the power supply is then switched off. If I could buy a new (cheap) power supply, this would be my last test.
Too bad the Z1 workstation is actually a nice device.
