Do i have a grounding issue?

[Corey3]

My Laptop has been shutting off recently quite randomly I mainly use this laptop for gaming and it's getting somewhat annoying when it just turns off midmatch or when I'm doing something else on it  

through my own test, I notice it turns off when I move my legs/feet on my carpet floor, and from looking up others with the problem I'm wondering if this a grounding issue?

the laptop is about a year old I have had this happen in the past but this is now starting to pop up to the point when its happening 3 times a day due to me simply moving my legs as a sit is there any known fix to this?

Welcome to HP Forums,  

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂

I see that you're experiencing  Electro-Static Discharge with the HP laptop, 

The AC adapter, which is the source of electrical power for the notebook, is designed to be used with a three-wire power cord. The AC adapter is, however, extensively tested to international safety standards with a 2-wire cord.

 Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• Have you tried without Ac adapter?
• Have you tried with Alternate Ac adapter?

Note: If you think there is a likelihood of hazardous shock with your HP notebook computer, immediately disconnect the notebook's AC adapter from the power socket and discontinue use of it.

Keep me posted for further assistance.
